Hi. Still curious about this all. Thanks for all the info people have sent me. Here's some more questions. I'm working from a system where we have a jukebox hanging off a sun box backing up an F330 (well, there's more then this, but I'm keeping it simple).
1) Does the current (5.3.2r1) version support NDMP v3? a) If not is v3 support planned and for when? 2) What (if any) advantage is there using NDMP vs. Dump (dump.FAServer)? 3) Which is better/faster for individual file restores (i.e. one or two files only)? 4) Can you extract a file out of a NDMP dump onto a different file system (i.e. onto a sun box)? 5) Are both snapshot backups (NDMP & dump.FAServer)? Important for ClearCase users.... 6) Any problems spanning NDMP dumps over multiple tapes?
Concerns that bring me to these questions : 1) Budtool (now Legato) not wanting to support dump.FAServer types. vs 2) End of Life on the F330's.
