hi,
since ndmp uses ontap dump to create backups and
"Dump command data format The data is written to tape in a format compatible with the standard BSD-dump format. This means that you can restore Network Appliance dump tapes using the Solaris ufsrestore command. The only data that you cannot restore with this command are the CIFS (Windows NT) attributes, because Solaris does not support them. However, the data itself is accessible."
can a backup tape written locally on a filer using ndmp be taken to a solaris box with a compatible drive and restored?
thanks.
