I've been trying to find an answer to this for some time.  Ideally I've wanted 
NetApp to include several things in Data OnTap.

1. a native veritas netbackup client.  Sure would make it a lot easier to back 
them up if they supported it somehow.

2. HSM support.  Even if I have to stick an optical or tape robot behind a 
group of filers, and they do the HSM in their own format, it would be better 
than having to move any filesystems I might want to archive onto a platform 
that can support HSM.  Not sure if this is going to happen, though the more of 
us that bug them, the better.

All in all, I wouldn't count on it though. Looks like we can't even get NDMP 
to work all the time between revisions when dealing with NetBackup.
