I use 'mminfo' to allow traditional clients to test 
whether they are being backed up from scripts. E.g.:

pc012939# SERVER=stiles
pc012939# /usr/sbin/mminfo -s $SERVER -qclient=`hostname` -q'savetime>7 days 
ago'
 volume        client       date      size   level  name
000060L3       pc012939  08/03/2007   4  B    incr  /export/diska
000065L3       pc012939  08/04/2007   4  B    incr  /export/diska
000067L3       pc012939  08/05/2007   4  B    incr  /export/diska
000067L3       pc012939  08/06/2007   4  B    incr  /export/diska
000071L3       pc012939  08/06/2007   4  B    incr  /export/diska
000073L3       pc012939  08/08/2007   4  B    incr  /export/diska
000077L3       pc012939  08/07/2007   2 KB       5  /export/diska
000081L3       pc012939  08/09/2007   4  B    incr  /export/diska
pc012939# 

We also have some NetApp filers which are backed up over 
NDMP, but these do not appear in the output from mminfo, even
when *all* '-q' filtering is removed and I just grep the list:

pc012939# /usr/sbin/mminfo -s $SERVER | grep -i filer
pc012939# 

(all out filers contain 'filer' in their names). 

But when I used 'nwrecover' to browse what is recoverable
(Change -> Client -> Update Client List), then savesets are 
listed there.

On the client side, we are using Legato 7.3 and on the server
it's 7.2.

So, my question: how can I use mminfo to retrieve information 
about the filer backups? Any advice appreciated!
