You do need a NAS to restore NDMP data . No way around that.

You would have to switch to NFS/CIFS backups (as opposed to NDMP)  in
order to restore
without the Netapp.
Maybe have a separate, short-retention CIFS backup just for DR purposes.

Subject
[ADSM-L] NAS Restore






We just recently added an IBM N series NAS and using TSM NDMP to back up
our data nightly.

We are going to be doing a DR in a couple of weeks and we do not have a
NAS at our test site and will build a huge server to restore the data
to.

How will we restore to an alternate location if it is not a NAS box? I
have looked at the restore options with TSM and it looks like it has to
restore to a NAS.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
