Yup. Look in the TSM Admin Guide, Chapter 8 -> Using NDMP.... Go to Backing up and restoring NAS file servers using NDMP -> Performing NDMP filer to Tivoli Storage Manager server backups
The short story - if you point the copygroup for the ndmp mgmt class to a regular stgpool rather than one configured for NDMP san operations, it will automatically attempt to use IP. You can basically completely bypass all the backup-over SAN bits.....
