should an ndmp backup performed on one platform be able to be restored
to another platform?  example: can an ndmp backup done on a netapp be
restored to an emc celerra nas device?  or is ndmp just a protocal for
backup software to initiate/control backups, and the actual "stream" of
data going from a volume to tape is proprietary to each os/vender.  each
os/vender could then only restore from their own backups, but they would
at least be using ndmp common commands from the backup software.  

does anyone have any success stories on cross platform restores?

thanks,
jerald
