Not that you'd necessarily _want_ to do that, but VERITAS' ServPoint for
NAS turns a Solaris box into a NAS appliance and comes with a NetBackup
NDMP server license. Backing up using NDMP when you can do standard
filesystem backups seem sadomasochistic though. I was told the only
reason you'd want to do NDMP backup with ServPoint for NAS so all NT
ACLs are preserved.

NDMP data can only be restored to an NDMP client.  Currently there is
no
way to make an NDMP client out of a Sun or Windows box.
