Hello ALL, Thanks for your help! I am about to upgrade a client from 5.5.2 to 6.1.x. The client just got an nSeries and they want to implement NDMP. Two questions arise form this thread.
1. Which 6.1.x version should I upgrade to? 2. What is the nature of the NDMP/TOC performance problems in 6.1.x? Thanks Again!
