Let the system(s) that own the data on the NAS back that data up. In that fashion, those systems can do the file level restore. Perhaps use NDMP to satisfy rapid DR restores as necessary.
This makes sense since most of the time you are asked to perform a single (or perhaps a few) file restore. Solve that problem in the best fashion: owner of the data backs the data up. Kelly J.

Hi, We are looking at a TSM solution here at our facility. We are also looking at reorganizing our file shares onto a Network Appliance platform. From a thorough reading of the TSM 5.1 manuals, it seems that TDP for NDMP only supports image backups. Needless to say on a busy fileserver that isn't going to fly. While it might be a good disaster recovery solution, it is not the right one for day to day operations. My question is, how do most people back these things up? Do you use a CIFS or NFS share and backup that way? Or is there something I am missing? Thanks in advance. Michael Wheelock Integris Health of Oklahoma
