BTW, probably a silly question, but...
   What are the real advantages of using NDMP for NetApp over backing
it up through NFS mounted shares ?
   For example, I have a single NetApp volume (let's say 2 TB). Does it
make sense to use NDMP in my case ?
   Especially considering the fact that it is going to be a single data
stream.

Stan,
     We're using NDMP and 7.1.1 haven't noticed any difference from
6.1.3 yet. We have NetApp connected to dedicated library right now but
intend to connect to fabric and use shared library in the near future.

Just out of curiosity, do you do full backups of your NatApp device
nightly? How much data is backed up on a typical night and can you
recover individual NetApp files? If so, how long does it take to get
back a NetApp file from tape via the NDMP protocol?
