Possible, maybe. But the way to do this is not well-documented anywhere. If the source data was from a netapp, then then the datastream is decodable via ufsrestore on solaris. The Netapp site has a KB for this: 1010683 The problem is that the file on tape is encapsulated with some NBU format information. So you would have to position the tape past the NBU information to the beginning of the Netapp data stream. I've had the details for that in the past, but I can't seem to find them at the moment. If your source NDMP host was something other than a netapp, then ufsrestore has no guarantee of working. It may be some other format. -- Darren _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
