In our case, we used nwrecover from the networker server and the data
was redirected to the celerra. Can't say we're thrilled about being
forced to use a "similar" device for recoveries, but this seems to be
the only supported way in Networker.

I'm not wondering about where to recover the data to, we want it back on
the Celerra, but more so about whats the best way to recover data (or
maybe only way). I've seen messages talking about kicking off the
recover from the networker server, and redirect the data to the
Celerra.. I know that nsrndmp_recover does not exist on the movers...

Correct.  We back up a Celerra using NDMP and in the event of a
disaster, we would need another Celerra to restore to.   That is why we
are looking into backing up our Celerra as just a regular file share
when our new one arrives shortly.

My understanding is that NDMP backups require a "similiar" target as the
source.  You need a Celerra to recover the data from a Celerra.  I am
looking at getting a Netapp and will test that understanding soon.
