If you can reinstate the NetApp for a while you might be able to clone
the long term NDMP backups to a DSA device, but I'm not 100% sure this
is possible.
Argh! I didn't describe what we had done correctly! We did use DSA
backups. So they are NetWorker encapsulated NDMP's that were written to
a storage node via the nsrdsa_save path (not a true NDMP backup that was
written to tape by the NetApp Filer).
Should we be able to recover the data via nsrdsa_recover without the
Filer as the final target? That is, assuming I could get someone to
tell me the parameters to call nsrdsa_recover with (a command that I
notice Preston noted on his blog in 2009 as one of the undocumented nsr*
commands) since that command has no documentation.
Thanks,
