Greetings,

I'm trying to help out one of our other sites that is getting ready to 
make some changes to their environment.  Looking through the archives 
brought up a couple of questions.  This group is going to be upgrading 
the filer heads and plans to do remote snapshots to our site.  This will 
eliminate their use of NetBackup.  They also do not plan to attach the 
tape library to the new filer like they currently have it to the old one. 

I was expecting that we would be able to do restores if we connect the 
tape library to the backup server and then restore any needed data over 
the network to the new filer.  The messages I found in the archives 
mention that NDMP dumps can only be restored back to a filer.  Here are 
the questions that came up.

1.  Are all NDMP backups classified as dumps, or should we still be able 
to restore selected files to another location either on a filer or 
another file system?  The backups are configured for the file system 
level backups, but of type NDMP.

2.  Are there any known gotchas that will either require us to connect 
the library to the new filer or prevent us from doing a standard restore?

The backup version is 5.1 MP5 running on a hpux 11.11 server.  The tape 
library is scsi attached.

Thanks,

Jeff
