I'm no expert, but I have the same setup you do.

You do not have to use nwrecover to restore your data. You could always manually load a tape and use the restore/dump commands on your NetApp.

All that the NDMP module does is make the native dump and restores work with Legato.

This question would probably have a better chance of being answered if you send the message to: NETWORKER@LISTMAIL.TEMPLE.EDU It's a Legato Networker group!!

Hope this helps!

Hello,

We have just purchased our first filer (an F820) and are trying to get the backups/restores working before we put it into production. We are using Solstice Backup with NDMP and have a DLT jukebox directly connected to the F820. We can get backups to work but are having trouble with restores. Do you have to use nwrecover (which I can get to work) or can you use the save set recover facility. I get "Invalid fh_info" messages with save set recover. Really I need to know the best way to recover a whole volume in the quickest way in the event of a disaster.

thanks
