Although according to netapp techs, ufsrestore under solaris should at
least get something usable back from these tapes, although we haven't
had the need to test it...

Quoting Stephen Dvorak (sdvorak AT veritas DOT com):
> Dennis,
> NBU 3.4 has the ability to do NDMP proxy.  This would mean you could backup
> a different filer from the one you are on, and restore the data to another
> filer as well.  However, you cannot restore your NDMP data to a non NDMP
> system (i.e. from your filer to an NT box).  NetApp is essentially using a
> proprietary format when it writes data (a form of dump).  This means that
> the data that is backed up with the filer must be restored with a filer (you
> cannot take the take to a regular NBU media server and restore the data
> using standard NBU tools).

> I was wondering if there are any major enhancements to NDMP when I go from
