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

Steve: 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?

Speaking of remote backup, my backup team tells me that Veritas backups of Filers via NDMP don't work with the current release (5.3.x) of DOT. Any word on when (date please) this will be fixed? If already fixed, can someone let me know so I could get the appropriate version from Tech.
OnTap 5.3.2 will be qualified for local (not 3-way) backup/restores with NetBackup 3.2 very soon. 5.3.2 should be out "any day now".
