If you won't upgrade to 3.4, you can still "trick" NetBackup by
entering the IP address for the alternate host in NetBackup machine's
/etc/hosts.
This is simple, and working too.

NDMP, to

fine and
are reliable until .....

types does
not appear to give any option for restoring data to any alternate
location. The
original location is of course an offline volume that is read only.
If by 'location' you mean a different NetApp, NetBackup calls this
"alternate client restore". NetBackup NDMP supports this beginning
in version 3.4 which was released recently.
If you mean a different directory, NetBackup calls this "alternate
path restore" and NetBackup NDMP has supported that at least as far
back as 3.2.
If you need help on how to do this, email me privately and I'll
have someone here give you the details (depends on which user
interface you are using).
