Douglas, For what it's worth. We do NDMP with virtual cif servers on an emc celerra (clariion disk space of course). Does the throughput increase? Yes and no. Sure, it shoots the data down the line faster however NDMP is a single threaded job. One NDMP job, one tape unit. In truth I can multiplex data across the wire and get three jobs going to one tape unit with just about the same speed. We have no choice since the Centerra is ndmp only.

I am pushing for an NDMP license to backup the 24TB of disk so I don't need to pull most of it across the lan. I have 4 san media servers that backup 12TB buit the other 12 are spread across a lot of machines and I don't want to keep pulling across the lan due to there is not enough hours in a day to complete backups and duplications already and now they want full daily backups of all allocated disk on the clariion.

See the NDMP admin guide page 37/38 for using SET in the backup list (but not any vendor-specific examples of exluding). See the OnTAP manuals for the syntax that is allowed when excluding files (assuming you're using a netapp). -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
