I've hit a roadblock with NDMPcopy... some observations: * I've used the Solaris NDMP implementation with Arkeia, so I know it works. * I can authenticate via ndmpcopy, but not move data. * I have no interest in tape, just looking for the ability to do NDMP 3-way disk-to-disk. * The NDMP design doc (http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/caselog/2007/397/) suggest there are special capabilities for ZFS, including the ability to use snapshots and even use 'zfs send' as opposed to 'tar' or 'dump'... but its unclear as to whether that is done or to come.
Ultimately, I would like the ability to move data via NDMP without the use of expensive and overblown backup software, and tape drives are obsolete for my environment. Details are needed on what the _real_ capabilities of the current NDMP implementation are, its status (still in development?), and if there is any intention to create tools (either improving ndmpcopy to do these things or something new) for customers to utilize. Details please. :) benr. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
