Hi Klaus,

-NDMP alternate client Restore: Restore Data backuped from Client A directly to Client B? What must I do to make this possible?

This functionality is implemented in the upcoming NetBackup 3.4 release.

-NDMP Direct Acces Recovery: Restore of single Files/Directories in a short time (Our Backup Images are currently about 100 - 150GB). What Restore times do you have? (In my case, it looks like the Filersearches the whole dump, which can take up to 8 hours). Is there any possibility to speed this up?

Yes, the entire dump image is read by restore.

Neither OnTap or NetBackup support direct access restore in currently shipping releases. This is a complicated problem to solve in a dump-style backup.

The only suggestion I can make to improve restore speed is to breakup the backup into smaller dumps. If you are doing full volume dumps now then this may be less efficient as far as backup speed is concerned.
