Hi Matthew, When we installed TSM with NDMP we had the same problem with our NetApp filer. It seems that NDMP as it is now doesn't support backup at qtree or share level. I asked both IBM and Network Appliance and a vague answer came back from NetApp that they talked to IBM and soon (???) this feature will be included in TSM NDMP. I've heard nothing from IBM though. The situation stands as it is. NDMP backs up at volume level only. Yiannakis

Anyway I want to be able to split up the NDMP backups on the NetApp filer we have into smaller chunks. My aim is to do backups at the qtree level eg /vol/vol1/qtree1. This way I can reduce the impact on re-running a failed backup if something goes wrong with the tape drive. However from what I can see TSM will only backup at the node or volume level.
