This is a long way from TSM allowing you to restore a backup from a "NetApp

I found this comment from NetApp:

>Dump Format:
>Before we begin, it is important to realize that NetApp dump 
>(whether initiated using NDMP or using the filer console) adheres to 
>the ufsdump (Solaris dump) format. 

So it sounds line the NetApp data format is Solaris dump format.
