Has anyone ever heard of a service that
someone offers to convert NDMP tapes to another format? We are looking at
getting rid of some old NDMP Filers (OnStor) that still have tapes with 7 year
retention data on them. My options are to keep a legacy restore
environment or restore the data and then backup using CIFS. I also need
to encrypt the data in whatever process I use. My manger says he has
heard of a service that will do the conversion for you. Has anyone heard
of this? Please advise. One of the problems is that NDMP isn't really a standard for tapes - it's a protocol, not a tape format. You can't even restore an NDMP backup created by a NetApp to a Celerra, for example.
There are a lot of tape/data conversions out there. This is the first one that my goodsearch returned: http://www.dataconversion.com/. I'd be surprised if companies like Ontrack coiuldn't do it as well. Use the search engines :-)
