[Veritas-bu] NDMP restore

Yes, exactly, but my original question still stands - what I'm looking for
is has anyone written an NDMP agent for windows ? Ie the code that sits
within a filer that deals with the NDMP data stream ?

Using BSD backup would be cumbersome, so I figured if I could emulate the
NDMP agent on Windows ( or solaris for that matter ) it would make DR
easier for a filer ( if I don't have access to one in DR ).

regards
mark
