The NDMP message send to the Filer (NDMP_DATA_START_RECOVER) specifies a
field named nlist, which is an array of filenames to be recovered. Therefor
the maximum number of nlist entries restricts the number of files that can
be recovered per message.
Please note that this is the NDMP protocol. A clever backup application can
get around this limitation but it looks that there are very few (or no)
clever backup applications available.

Hi Levent,
Sorry, can you explain what you mean by nlist entries?
Thanks

I dont know about the file names but as far as I know there is a
limitation for nlist entries. Maximum of 10240 nlist entries supported

Hi!
I have been told by veritas that I have a file name or path that is
longer
than 1024 characters. Apparently this will cause problems with NDMP
They have told me to do the following :-
find . -inum 5942788 -print
But this just gives an error due to the value being to great. Anyone
seen
this before? I know this might seem like UNix 101..so sorry..
Thanks
Simon
