Consider the following scenario:

Data is written to a volume on one NetApp filer, on the hour this data is mirrored using snapmirror to a remote filer. NetBackup is used, using NDMP, to backup the data from the remote filer (snapmirror copy). Backups work fine and are reliable until .....

.... you want to restore data. The Netbackup restore option for NDMP 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.

Has anyone got any bright ideas about how this could be overcome.

Thanks David
