I's still running 2.4.2p2 and use GNU tar to back up subdirectories since the filer volumes are larger than a tape, and some of the directories are not worth backing up at all (temp space, web caches, duplicated data, etc.) > If you are successfully able to do so, can you send me > your disklist for the Netapp part so that I can > compare with mine ?

I use tar, subdirectories, and exclude lists to make reasonably-sized pieces to backup.
