[Veritas-bu] Any New NDMP Features in NBU 3.4?

Dennis,
NBU 3.4 has the ability to do NDMP proxy.  This would mean you could backup
a different filer from the one you are on, and restore the data to another
filer as well.  However, you cannot restore your NDMP data to a non NDMP
system (i.e. from your filer to an NT box).  NetApp is essentially using a
proprietary format when it writes data (a form of dump).  This means that
the data that is backed up with the filer must be restored with a filer (you
cannot take the take to a regular NBU media server and restore the data
using standard NBU tools).

I was wondering if there are any major enhancements to NDMP when I go from
NBU 3.2 to 3.4? I specifically interested in the capability to restore to an
alternate target. According to the 3.2 docs I can only restore to the
storage device I backed up from. It would be nice to be able to place it
somewhere else. What else, if anything, can I expect. We're talking NBU on
an NT platform by the way.

Dennis Dwyer
