For NetApps the procedure is still the same, and outside of NBU.  NDMP
is simply a command protocol, not a data format.  It just creates a
socket/tunnel for commands and data movement.

Solaris ufsrestore will still read the NetApp dumps, so you can
definitely restore to Solaris.  I don't have the procedure any more, and
it's been a while so I can't even point you to a location for it.

Thinking upon it more I find it's just the starting block I can't tell
you anymore, but the procedure is pretty simple.

Load the NDMP backup tape into a tape drive directly accessible from a
Solaris host, forward to the correct tape block, and run ufsrestore
(interactive or not, makes not difference).  If someone from AMCC is on
this list they could probably provide you with the procedure I left for
them, but I certainly can't recall anymore.

If it's not a NetApp backup, I imagine the procedure is the same but the
restore command would be whatever format the NAS device backs up with,
like tar or cpio or ....

Hope this helps.

Hiyas,

        I am trying to restore an NDMP backup to a non-NDMP client.  I
have read the following post in this list:
http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/pipermail/veritas-bu/2003-May/016762.html
but since it was posted in 2003, I am wondering now if any version of
netbackup server allows this type of restore yet?  I am currently
running NB server 5.0/MP4 on Solaris 9.  I haven't been able to find any
evidence of this yet.

Thanks,

Chris-
