NDMP backups are different that other Legato backups. The backup
datastream that is used during a backup is controlled by the NetWorker
client, rather than the server. You can't restore a NDMP backup to
anything other than the same type of NDMP client that you backed up.

Check out page 556 of the Unix Admin Guide

pdf

"The operating system of the target host must be the same as the one
used to back up the data, and the target host must be a client of the
NetWorker Server... For example, if the original data was backed up to a
NetApp filer, the data much be recovered to the same NetApp filer or
another NetApp filer that is a NetWorker client"
