We currently have a F820 Filer that we backup through an NT box without NDMP, but we are looking to move to NDMP backups as our data load increases. Does anyone have experience using NDMP backups with Tivoli Storage Manager? If so, does it seem to effective? How is your configuration set up? Our current Tivoli environment is a NSM 3466 with a 3494 Automated Tape Library. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
