If I recall, before 5.3 NDMP did have to go to tape.

Thanks everyone.  Good to know my memory is not completely shot.  IMHO,
the docs in the Admin Guide and RedBook need some work.  Lots of typos
and some misleading information.  I saw phrases in more than one place
that indicated that NDMP _must_ go to tape.

documented anywhere, however, and am beginning to doubt my memory.  Can
anyone tell me definitively whether this is possible or not?
