Legato, via acquisition, invented NDMP. it is very fast.

NDMP was in use long before Legato purchased PDC, the developer
of Budtool and along with Netapp, the co-inventor of NDMP. In fact
Legato was late to the NDMP party; even Netbackup supported NDMP
before Networker.

Although Budtool had its problems, it had an awesome database for
its time - 256 bytes per record and it was ASCII, so crafting
scripts to customize reports, end-user friendly front-ends, etc,
as as simple as reading the API. And supported NDMP in 1996.
