I think the 300G is just a stripped-down Windows file server; it comes with a TSM client already installed on it. Doesn't support/need NDMP, so you can do file-level restores.
There is a redbook on the IBM NAS 300G, including a chapter on backing it up: SG24-6278. -----Original Message----- From: Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 25, 2003 11:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: NAS/NDMP backups Sorry, my ignorance. I thought a NAS was a NAS was a NAS, as far as the interfacing goes. The box is an IBM NAS Gateway 300.

IBM's NAS just uses a standard TSM client & TCP/IP; some other brands use NDMP. -----Original Message----- From: Zoltan Forray/AC/VCU [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 25, 2003 10:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: NAS/NDMP backups New adventure time. I just had a co-worker come to me to let me know the NAS HEAD was installed and configured and ready to be backed-up. Now what ? I have absolutely no experience with this type of box. I had been digging in the manuals and found lots of info refering to using the NDMP process/interface of TSM to perform essentially, IMAGE type dumps/backups. The books also say this only allows for IMAGE type restores, not FILE level. I also see that TSM 5.2 now supports file-level restores from NDMP backups (all references on the IBM/TIVOLI site still say this is "coming in next release.....someone needs to update this). I need some guidance on setting up NAS backups. Also, has anyone tried file-level restores via 5.2 ? We can't install 5.2 yet since all of our AIX systems are still 4.3. We are going to upgrade one of the test servers, soon.
