You might contact Workstation Solutions. they have a product called QuickRestore. It sounds pretty interesting. I can't vouch for this product as I 've only seen the glossies and talked to a sales rep (I'm considering evaling it...) goto http://www.worksta.com.
The current version doesn't suport NDMP, but they've verbally told me that it's coming soon... in the next rev. They have the NDMP logo on there page(s).
They're major selling point is on Restore of the data. They say they can start the actual restore of data w/in 180 seconds.
The one draw back (in some opinions) is that is does use a client agent of some kind, though the tape format is a 'fully POSIX compliant format'. . ---------------------------------------------------------------- David R.
