Our master is set a Solaris 8 V880 with NB 5.1 MP6.

Our NDMP hardware is :
$ /usr/local/bin/sudo /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/set_ndmp_attr -verify 
Password: 

Verify Host name: XXXXX
Connecting to host "XXXXX" as user "ndmp"...

Host info is: 
host name "server_2" 
os type "DartOS" 
os version "EMC Celerra File Server.T.5.5.22.2" 
host id "abc1997" 
Login was successful 
Host supports LOCAL backup/restore 
Host supports 3-way backup/restore 

We have some file systems that are over 1TB that back up just fine.  We
can't restore.  There is a Tech Note from Veritas saying that backups over
1TB have trouble restoring.
I changed the include list to split up the bigger file systems.  I used a
Unix type syntax of /mount/bigshare/a* with NEW_STREAM between every 10
letters of the alphabet.   Was trying to see how the split would divide up
the total data (have done the same thing with many Unix and Windows boxes).
As soon as I use the "*" in the file selection, the backups fail with an
error 99, NDMP backup failure.  It happens immediately as soon as the tape
is loaded.
Is there a "trick" to assigning a file selection list to a NDMP mover?
Should not have patching the master to MP6 resolved the issue anyway?
Thanks.
