Folks Hi,

I understand NAS backups with NDMP have been talked in general in
this group.

I had a specifics with Netapp filers and their NDMP and wanted to know, if
people had an idea..

I was reading an internal Netapp docuement which was not official yet!
which said

TIVOLI 5.1 w/NDMP certified on filers with Data ONTAP 6.2
and the following support is provided with 5.1

1. local backup from filers to tape drives or libs
   * full & incremental backups and restores
  * library control from server or from file via NDMP
2. Dynamic drive sharing
3. Choice of interface to initate, monitor or cncel backup & restore
operations
  * web client
  * backup archive cmd line client

THe following functions are NOT supported in TSM 5.1 -Tivoli data
protection for NDMP

* filer to filer
* filer to server
* server to filer
* direct access restore (DAR functionality will be added Q1CY 2003)
* linux platform support
* detection of damaaged files
* data-trasnfer operation for NAS data stored by TSM

can somebody comment on these.

Cheers..
