NDMP restore overwrite existing files???

Question

Hi, We have problem with restore NDMP client.
We use GUI Networker User for restore and mark rename restore files option, but when restore runs, it overwrite existing files with old files.

Networker 7.2.2 on Windows Server 2003.

backup command of NDMP cliente: nsrndmp_save -T dump

Aplication information:
OPTION=NT
NSR_NDMP_RECOVER_DIR=y
HIST=y
UPDATE=y
DIRECT=y

Is there a hotfix for this situation?

Thank

If you check admin guide for 7.2.x you will find following:
"The NetWorker software does not support the recovery options Rename
Recovered File and Discard Recovered File for NDMP operations. For
both save set and file-by-file recoveries, current files are always overwritten."

i think that if only a full backup can be done using ndmp that only full restore can be done too which means that using ndmp the data is being saved other than filesystem way so you are not able to select which file to restore and you are able to restore the whole filesystem "as is".
but i might be wrong. we will see what do the more experienced guys say

We have configured backup full once time a week and diferential level 1,2,3,4,5,6 others days of a week. Restore of a unique file or directories its posible sure, but overwrite existing files with option rename existing files..
