I am getting ready to do a big data migration.  I
am planning on doing 

an initial level 0, and then multiple level 1's leading up to the big day.

I know the that native ndmpcopy in OnTap 7.1 can only do one level 1, 

and one level 2 for each level 0.

But I have read that if you get ndmpcopy or jnmdpcopy from ndmp.org that

it supports multiple level 1 dumps based on the same level 0.

But I am getting the same errors I got with the native ndmpcopy when I

use ndmpcopy and jndmpcopy from a unix host.  I just grabbed the latest

copies for ndmp.org yesterday.

 > java jndmpcopy.JNdmpcopy -version

java version "1.4.2"

gcj (GCC) 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3)

So I did a level 0, and then one level 1 that both worked just fine. 

Then I re-ran the level 1 with the same command, and get the errors 

below.  This is the same error I get if I try this with the native

ndmpcopy command on the filer itself.

I am moving about 1TB of data (about 16M files) off of 1 traditional 

volume onto multiple new flex vols on the same filer.  If what I'm
doing 

is flat out wrong,  what would others suggest ?  tar wouldn't
give me 

the incrementals and rsync would take a long time with this number of files.

Suggestions ?

Thanks,

Paul
