We just got our first filer. It is Netapp and I am using Networker with NDMP 
and not having very good luck so far. I was just wondering about your comment 
about netapp/networker combination. My tape drive is attached to my windows 
networker server. Most times when I run a backup a few volumes will complete 
successfully and then it seems that something goes to sleep and the tape device 
sits at writing/idle.

NetApp's dump command can take a lot of time before it will start sending out data. The time is proportional to the number of files on the volume. On a volume (connected to a FAS3050) which had ~5M files the backup failed when the group inactivity time was 120 minutes and I had to set it to 0 before I could get the volume to run full backups.
