Hi,

I don't know about OnTap 6.2R2 but with earlier versions the maximum
bandwith per stream through NDMP was about 12MB/s.
Had this problem once. To overcome this limit I simply split the
filers savesets (there were two of them) into two client resources and
put those into a dedicated NSR group. Each stream now had roughly 12MB/s
adding up to 24MB/s.

Strange but thats how it worked.
