I understand there is a hardware compatibility list, but I still need to ask 
the question.   I have a Pillar Data Storage NAS that has NDMP capability.  One 
would think that this is a well-defined protocol that is not dependent on 
hardware compatibility.  In our recent maintenance purchasing exercise, I'd 
inquired about adding the NDMP license to our pool only to be informed that our 
NAS is not supported.  So, the question, why does the hardware need to be 
"supported"  when the dialog should be via a well-defined protocol?

Secondarily, other than backing up the mounted filesystems from a networker 
client, is there any other recommended  backup methodology that is more 
efficient?
