Greetings, I'm trying to help out one of our other sites that is getting ready to make some changes to their environment. Looking through the archives brought up a couple of questions. This group is going to be upgrading the filer heads and plans to do remote snapshots to our site. This will eliminate their use of NetBackup. They also do not plan to attach the tape library to the new filer like they currently have it to the old one.
I was expecting that we would be able to do restores if we connect the tape library to the backup server and then restore any needed data over the network to the new filer. The messages I found in the archives mention that NDMP dumps can only be restored back to a filer. Here are the questions that came up. 1. Are all NDMP backups classified as dumps, or should we still be able to restore selected files to another location either on a filer or another file system? The backups are configured for the file system level backups, but of type NDMP. 2. Are there any known gotchas that will either require us to connect the library to the new filer or prevent us from doing a standard restore? The backup version is 5.1 MP5 running on a hpux 11.11 server. The tape library is scsi attached.
