- unattended level 0 dump of a large backup set, and have the Netapp automatically split the dump over multiple tapes
rsh filer dump [options that I don't remember offhand] nrst0a urst0a urst0a or something similar. That will span the tapes but doesn't give you any real feedback on how many tapes were used or what the final head position was.
- unattended full restore of a multi-tape dump
something similar is about as good as you'll get from the standard tools.
- selective directory/file restore via interactive file selection or passing of pathnames on command line
You could write a wrapper around your rsh command and do it that way, but again theres nothing built-in.
- loading/unloading tapes in specific slots (e.g., full dump on tapes in slots 0 to 18, then daily differentials on slot 19 only)
ndmp_tools has some support for changing tapes in a library but last time I tried it I didn't get very far.
