Limitations on Network Appliance Devices

There are limitations when using a Network Appliance NAS device with the NDMP NAS Option. These limitations are based on the version of NDMP in use on the NAS server. Limitations include the following:

• For backups, the use of filters is limited to exclude file and directory entries.
• Filters are not supported on restores.
• Use of tape drives is limited to those that are supported by Network Appliance.
• Use of tape library units is limited to those supported by Arcserve.
• Although Network Appliance NAS devices support Direct Access Restore (DAR), the option supports file restore only. If you choose to restore at least one folder, the restore reverts to scanning the session.
