Re: NDMP Questions

I'm not sure I understand your first question.

As far as your second question, you can restored individual files using Veritas NDMP. You can only restore directories. So, find the directory that contains the file, and restore that. I usually restore to an alternate location because of this. Then I copy the file I really wanted to restore back to the original location and delete the rest.

If anybody has dug deep into using Veritas Netbackup NDMP to backup the filer.

1. Since NDMP uses dump, if you loose tape 5 of 8 does that mean you loose

the entire backup / restore?

2. Can you restore file X without spanning all tapes that are part of the

dump?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
