Restoring Netbackup NDMP tapes on Windows Server - Gurus needed
Hello Netbackup Gurus,
I've been tasked with restoring several Netbackup tapes of Netapp data that were backed up using NDMP.
The tape drives we are using are LTO-4.
The original server is not available any longer, so getting any catalog tapes or anything else will not be possible.
We are in a Windows 2003 / Netbackup 6.5 environment.
I need to restore all data from these tapes to folders on the local Windows machine.
Security/Permissions don't need to be retained.
We are not natively a Netbackup shop, so just getting these tapes cataloged/imported is a challenge at this stage.
I am on a tight schedule and am therefore willing to make it worth the time for anyone who is confident that they can assist me with this task. ($$ via Paypal to the first few people who respond with a solution that works.)
I imagine it is probably relatively straightforward, but I don't have a lot of time to figure it out so I need someone with a lot of knowledge in this area.
Are there any Netbackup Gurus out there that can help? I am looking for an answer on this ASAP. Please PM me if this sounds like your area of expertise.
Thank you,
Bitmover

I assume that the tape drive was attached to the netapp box (not using 3 way NDMP backup)
I asked support some month ago if I could restore data from a NDMP (emc clerra) backup to a Windows client, and the answer was "no, must be same architecture". I think you will need a box caple of "talking" NDMP.
