Hi all!
So, we're evaluating backup software to replace Budtool. When we used budtool, it used Netapp's Dump to backup the files, not NDMP.
Now, I don't claim to have all the ins-and-outs down on NDMP, but here's what I understand. NDMP does a sorta flow-control in one stream and dumps in another (or something like that).
My particular questions:
1) Do all implementations of NDMP backup/restore at best only allow choosing directories and NOT files for restore/backup?
2) Does netapp's Dump work such that you can choose to backup/restore particular files?
3) How does netapp's Dump differ from the dump in the NDMP?
It's all kinda fuzzy for me....
