NDMP Waiting-Queued
I am trying to run an NDMP restore to my Celerra, but I see Waiting-Queued in Activity Monitor. If I have a NDMP backup running for a specific Celerra data set, can I run a restore simultaneously to that same data set? Or do I have to wait for the backup to complete?
No Events found!

Sorry, I was trying to keep things simple and may have oversimplified a bit.
You can't run multiple backup or restore activities against the same data at the same time. I believe this is handled on a filesystem by filesystem basis (so if the backup or restore dataset contains a filesystem that is already being backed up or restored, the new activity will be queued).

Each client agent can only perform one activity at a time. You will need to wait for the backup to complete or cancel it.

That is what I thought, but my Celerra can handle up to 4 concurrent NDMP streams, so that doesn't sound entirely true to me. I am able to run up to 4 concurrent NDMP backups from 4 different data sets. It seems to me that I should be able to some how utilize the unused steams to restore data to the Celerra. Or is that not possible due to the backup holding exclusive rights to the NDMP stream of that data set?
