Hi Muthu, I have an EMC NS704G and back it up using NDMP protocol to a TSM server on AIX 5.3 at the 5.3.5.2 release. I utilize LTO2 media and they are housed in an SL8500 library. I can answer your questions, but please remember that the amount of data you can back up per hour depends on the speeds of the drives you have purchased.
1. How much data I can backup using NDMP per hour - Assume we have 4 dedicated tape drives? I back up 100 GB/hr. with LTO2 drives. 2. Can I snap the content and start the backup if I use NetApp appliance? This is possible on the Celerra, not sure about NetApp. 3. Can I do incremental backup using NDMP? Yes. 4. How can I perform file level restore using NDMP? With TSM & Celerra, you must create a table of contents in order to do a file level restore. You can also do it from the command line, but syntax would have to be 100% correct and how often do you know the exact name & syntax of data that needs restored? If you have any other questions, just let me know.

We will be using either Celera or NetApp for contents. We are planning to use TSM along with NDMP for content backup. Is anyone have the similar setup. I have following questions. 1. How much data I can backup using NDMP per hour - Assume we have 4 dedicated tape drives? 2. Can I snap the content and start the backup if I use NetApp appliance? 3. Can I do incremental backup using NDMP? 4. How can I perform file level restore using NDMP? Thanks in advance ... Thanks & Regards Muthu 202-458-8340 - Work
