Richard, If you mean performing NDMP dumps via ethernet to a TSM server it is relatively simple. -------------------- If you desire a non-root user on the NetApp to run backups otherwise just enable NDMP and use the root user account on the NetApp. On the NetApp Create a backup user Generate an NDMP password for this user "ndmpd password mybackupuser" Enable NDMP
--------------------- On the TSM server Define a TOC_destination when you define the copygroup separate from where the data will go. Register the NetApp as a node type=NAS password = <Generated_password> Define the datamover type=NAS dataformat=netappdump userid=mybackupuser password=<generated_password> If you want to backup specific snapshots - - Define virtualfilesystems def virtualfsmap <filer> /virtual_name /vol/volume /.snapshot/snapshotID Backup data "backup node <filer> /virtual_name ----------------------- If you are going through a firewall, you will probably want to restrict which ports are used to a smaller range. In dsmserv.opt - NDMPPortRange <low_port>, <high_port> And restart the TSM server. Cheers, Neil Strand Storage Engineer - Legg Mason Baltimore, MD.

I know this is possible since 5.4/5.5, but I can't find any good documentation on it. Does someone have some implementation guidelines or knows where to find a manual/redbook/field guide?
