Alternatively, you could pony up for the Snap Manager for MS-SQL
license, and you can make your DBA's do the backups AND restores. It
links the process of quiescing the database with the netapp snapshot.
Some assembly required.
I was going to suggest that but it assumes that the SQL database is on the NetApp and the OP didn't say that - just that the dump files where on the filer.
And since MS SQL doesn't like CIFS shares for its database, you're stuck presenting the disk via iSCSI or FC so that limits the customer.
We're just getting into the process of putting databases on our filers. Really, really sweet. The DBAs are drooling more than my basset hound. .../Ed
