Please add the different versions of ontap and NBU

Hi Benjy,

        Veritas added support for 3-way NDMP backups to NetBackup
        (NBU) 3.2.

        Data ONTAP has supported 3-way NDMP backups since we supported
        NDMP v2 in 4.x.

        HOWEVER, during certification of NBU 3.2 & 5.3.2 we recognized
        that 3-way restores weren't functioning completely in *every*
        scenario that we tested with NBU & we tracked this down to issues
        on *both* sides. These issues are being addressed, but won't be
        certified/supported until a follow-on release of Data ONTAP
        is released (currently scheduled for the end of October '99).

Cheers,
        Grant

Since you seem to know both sides of the NDMP debate here, let me ask you:
is there ANY NetBackup/NetApp configuration which allows 3-way NDMP
backups?
