Hi,

I use Netbackup 7.5 to back up a Netapp filer.  I have certain volumes on that 
filer that have grown exceptionally large - approaching a terabyte per vol, and 
one volume holds more than 5 million files, a second has > 2.0 million.  These 
are CIFS volumes, with NFS shares as well.  We back them up over fiber using 
NDMP.  This has been getting progressively slower, no surprise.  

NDMP already does take a snapshot on the filer and uses that to back up the 
volume.  That is perfect.  However my backup of the larger of these two volumes 
is taking 26 hours plus, and is growing.  Do I have any resource in the short 
term?  Is there anything I can do to improve the time this is taking? 

Thanks in advance.  I did look this question up, but I did not see any answers 
where the user was employing NDMP, hence my question.

JB
