Hi
                    We backup tons of data on the filer we have using
Veritas Netbackup using NDMP. Our NDMP backups are for all volumes
coming from the filer which are NFS mounted on UNIX hosts primarily used
for oracle and weblogic.

I have read lot of posts on the forum that "NDMP restore sucks" can
someone please elaborate on this is what is the real issue/concern. Can
we not restore a single file or directory if recovered and does the
whole volume has to be restored back for this???=20
=20
We have not had a situation where we have to restore from tapes but
after reading so many posts on the forum regarding "NDMP restores" I am
little concerned. And all reviopus posts on this seem to say that the
NDMP restore sucks and follks recommend to do NFS mount backups from the
server for easy restore.
=20
Can someone throw some light on this.

Thanks
Sandeep
