Are there any other brave souls out there using Legato Networker's NDMP software to backup a Filer? I know most everyone uses Veritas but the locally Veritas has some customer support/satisfaction issues.
I'm running Networker 6.1 build 186 backing up Filers running DOT 6.1R1. The problem I'm having is restoring files using their Direct Access Restore (DAR) which they crow so loudly about as THE feature that puts them ahead of the competition. For restores from multi- tape backups the restore fails when trying to find files on the second or third tape. I've applied their unreleased patches for nwrecover and recover which made some improvements but I'm still getting failures. I starting to feel like I payed to be a beta-tester for them.
Is there anyone else using Legato's NDMP backup that has any info, tips, war stories to share?

Yeah, I am. Running Networker 6.1 on a Solaris box, with the latest patches from Legato. It did fix the problem you talk about. The patch below replaces the nwsave/save apps with shiny brand new ones.
