> At what point does the NDMP induced pinning get released? With NDMP, each file system is backed up as an image. Therefore each file system is backed up in its own transaction. The transaction is committed (pin released) when the backup for the file system completes.
If the backup does not span more than one tape then there is no pin for the backup of that file system.
