Hello ADSM, We are currently migrating away from Netapps, (NDMP to tape) to a new store subsystem ( Infinidat) My belief is that since NDMP is a common protocol, we should be able to restore those vi
I think you find that computer says nooooo. Im guessing that your current NDMP dumps are in NetApp format, so you can possibly restore those to every NetApp you wish, but nothing else. -- Met vriend

This is a long way from TSM allowing you to restore a backup from a "NetApp Dump" storage pool to a non-Netapp appliance. I am skeptical but haven't tried it myself. I found this comment from NetApp:
