The plan is actually to record dump events to a log file. The events include when a dump started, when it switched tape, when it finished, whether it completed successfully, etc. It does not intend to log the entire dump message output, and the messages will likely to come down the rsh stdout pipe as usual.
Would these log messages be stored for manually executed dumps in addition to NDMP executed dumps? That would be extremely handy since some backup products don't do the best job of sorting out the output of the dump command.
It would also be great if the level of detail could be throttled via an option, similar to "ndmpd debug". While the events in a log file would be helpful for normal usage, it would be great to turn up the resolution and recieve all the standard messages that come through dump if we're troubleshooting a problem.
In any case, we're glad this is a priority!
