Probably not but you can ask EMC.  We had a similar issue and still have a 
Celerra without support, just to allow restores until the backups expire.

NDMP uses the native 'dump' capability of the appliance, which is proprietary.  
It *is* possible to tell it to use 'tar' but I guess that is too late.

It's possible the Celerra does use some format that can be read, but the 
problem often is that it may be storing both Windows and UNIX style ACLs at the 
same time, which would require it to do something unusual.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup NDMP backups need to restore to another Filer 
non-celera


Hi All,

We had EMC Celera NAS Filers backups taken by NetBackup NDMP Agent.

However these Filers were decommissioned .

I remember a limitation that if NDMP backups, backed through a particular filer 
can be restored only to a filer of similar make and model . It cannot be 
redirected to another filer (Example Ontap) or any OS filesystem.


Is there any way data from these tapes be restored/redirected to any other 
location.

Regards
Venkatraghavan M
