To be able to use DAR you must have DIRECT=Y at backup time.

Subject: [Networker] DAR recovery

I just attached a jukebox to a Netapp (running 6.4.3).  The Master
Linux box is running 7.2.

Everything went pretty well.  Jukebox is controllable, the initial full
backup seemed to go fine.  However while testing a restore, I got
this...

 Performing recover from NDMP type of device
 Opened the tape device : nrst1a
 Performing non-DAR Recovery..

Hmm.  I want DAR here.  So I went through the manual again and realized
that I had left the DIRECT=y off the client.  Now the client looks like
this...  (it had the HIST and UPDATE already set during the backup).


           backup command: nsrndmp_save -T dump;
                     ndmp: Yes;
 application information : HIST=y, UPDATE=y, DIRECT=y;

However, that change didn't seem to allow me to perform a DAR recovery.
I have indexes for the backup.  Is there anything else I need to have in
place so that I can have DAR kick in for the recovery?
