Hello.

A file that would fit on a floppy disk can take over 12 hours to restore in
my environment.
Pretty bad for customer service.

My environment is an instance of NBU 3.2 capturing a weekly backup of a
Network Appliance Filer using an NDMP scheme to a locally attached DLT
library.  The Filer can be capturing several
terabytes of data.   A restore can call for the loading of umpteen DLT IV
tapes for this
one itty-bitty-file.

My recent postings to the Veritas.Com newsgroup later proved that the DAR
functionality required to get this one itty-bitty-file back in a more
reasonable time frame was not available in the NBU 3.x realm.  My file has
the latest ONTAPP OS.

I'm trying to ascertain and confirm that if I move from 3.x to 4.5 FP3, the
environment will
allow me to take advantage of DAR and get my itty-bitty-file back a bit
sooner.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Sincerely
Jim
