It's not really possible. NDMP is just a control protocol to allow one device to order another device to do backup activities. It doesn't define a data format itself. That's up to the storage device.

With NetApp, the protocol can be a variant of ufsdump or it can be a native snapmirror format. There are some cases where you can make a different device read ONTAP backups when it uses ufsdump, but it's never 100% guaranteed.

<removed image> I am trying to do an ndmpcopy from a 7m 8.1.4P1 to an Oracle ZS3.

I am not even sure if this is possible, but It authenticates successfully then dies with a network communication error.

Looking at a pkkt capture, there is 2 way protocol communication for about 15 seconds then the netapp sends a reset.
