        Subject: [Veritas-bu] Include list for NDMP
        
        

        Our master is set a Solaris 8 V880 with NB 5.1 MP6. 

        Our NDMP hardware is : 
        $ /usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/set_ndmp_attr
-verify
        Password:
        
        Verify Host name: XXXXX
        Connecting to host "XXXXX" as user "ndmp"...
        Waiting for connect notification message...
        Opening session--attempting with NDMP protocol version 4...
        Opening session--successful with NDMP protocol version 4
        host supports TEXT authentication
        host supports MD5 authentication
        Getting MD5 challenge from host...
        Logging in using MD5 method...
        Host info is:
        host name "server_2"
        os type "DartOS"
        os version "EMC Celerra File Server.T.5.5.22.2"
        host id "abc1997"
        Login was successful
        Host supports LOCAL backup/restore
        Host supports 3-way backup/restore
        
        We have some file systems that are over 1TB that back up just
fine.  We can't restore.  There is a Tech Note from Veritas saying that
backups over 1TB have trouble restoring.

        I changed the include list to split up the bigger file systems.
I used a Unix type syntax of /mount/bigshare/a* with NEW_STREAM between
every 10 letters of the alphabet.   Was trying to see how the split
would divide up the total data (have done the same thing with many Unix
and Windows boxes).

        As soon as I use the "*" in the file selection, the backups fail
with an error 99, NDMP backup failure.  It happens immediately as soon
as the tape is loaded.

        Is there a "trick" to assigning a file selection list to a NDMP
mover? 
        Should not have patching the master to MP6 resolved the issue
anyway? 
        Thanks.

        NB 5.x doesn't do wildcards.
