Thanks for all the feedback. It looks like I either need to switch software or wait for veritas to implement DAR. A quick look shows that almost every other NDMP player already has it.
I have 300gb volumes and several hundred users on each volume.... it takes many hours to find a 500k word document :-( . Snapshots reduce the requirement to go to tape to a minimum but I've had to do it a couple of times over the last week or two.
Thanks again,
Don

Subject: One more netbackup question...
I find restoring from a tape extraordinarly slowwwww. I have home directories on a clustered pair of F840 running 6.1.1r2. I have several volumes at about 300gb usable. When I need to restore a file from a users directory it can take up to 6+ hours (DLT 8000). It appears most of the time is taken searching for the files... is there anything you can suggest (including any white papers) to speed up this process?
