All,

I've done a lot of browsing around of both NetApp resources and TSM resources and can't find an answer to this. This has lead me to this mailing list!

We are currently deploying a NetApp FAS 8040 with around 500TB of disk behind it and we use TSM as a backup solution.

Does anyone have a similar setup? How are you backing it up with TSM? Do you have configuration notes you'd be willing to share?

We've looked at Snapdiff but this is unsupported with CDOT presently (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21633171)

So I think we are looking down the NDMP route - however I'm not sure of exact implementation details of this... do we need to dedicate tape drives to this? What are its limitations? How do file restores work? etc. etc. etc.

Anyone that can provide any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
