We have a bunch of Isilon storage, and back it up using over NFS using
TSM proxy nodes. Our data is easy to segregate into virtual mountpoints,
though, which helps us get pretty good parallelism.

I took one look at NDMP and have stayed well away from it because it
simply doesn't scale. I have a feeling it's designed to benefit tape
library vendors.

Anyone backup an Isilon array? Using 3592 tape drives?  The sales guys say it 
is just NDMP.
I am looking for just basic information (good, bad, Oh Smurf!).  One may be in 
our future.
