For a quick band-aid, you should be able to check the progress from the BlueArc
side by running 'ndmp-session-stats' from the command line; it'll tell you how
much data has been scanned and sent.
For the Networker side of things, under 'application information' in the client
definition (where you set the NDMP environment variables -- I don't have the
GUI in front of me) -- do you have the following set?
UPDATE=y
HIST=y
DIRECT=y
I believe HIST=y is the one that will get you what you're looking for -- it
tells the BlueArc to send file information back through the NDMP control
channel so that NetWorker can update the client indexes, and should also show
you progress of the backup. DIRECT=y is used when doing restores to let you use
the HIST information to go to a specific file or files to restore, and UPDATE=y
tells the BlueArc to create and rotate snapshots so that you can use leveled
backups. (You don't need UPDATE=y if you're only ever doing full backups.)
See the NDMP section of the NetWorker Administrator Guide for more details; and
for more NDMP variables you can set (though they may not be specifically useful
for NetWorker), on the BlueArc SMU, see the file /usr/local/bin/adc.readme .
Hope this helps,
