- Do you know, when Netbackup v3.4 will be released?
It will be going beta in a few weeks. So probably a few months away.
- Backing up Files without ACL´s?
We also have many UNIX-Files and dont need the use of ACL´s. Is there a possibility to disable NDMP-Backup with ACLs? If possible, does this affect restore times, because the acl´s on the end of the file are not needed.
I'm not sure I understand the question. If you are wondering about turning off the backup of ACLs, I believe there is a NetApp NDMP environment variable that can do that. As far as I am aware this wouldn't affect the restore time - it still reads the entire image (I think). Someone from NetApp can correct me if I'm wrong.
With NDMP the backup product just positions to the beginning and tells the NDMP server to start the restore. What happens after that is up to the NDMP server implementation.
- NDMP v3:
Are ther any real enhancements with this implementation and when will it be released with Veritas/Netapp?
V3 adds some minor things to the protocol but that doesn't mean they are used by a given NDMP client.
V3 is not in NetBackup 3.4. I can't tell you what is in the following release because the feature content hasn't been finalized (and maybe even then I can't say ;). V3 is in the pipeline but I wouldn't expect any functionality impact because of it.
