Hi techies,
I got a request to perform a cross doamin restore where the NDMP backup has taken in X domain running in 6.5.6 UNIX . And the taget site Y domain is running in 7.5.0.4. Master server OS UNIX.
My query here is
1 ) Shall we perform cross domain restore for NDMP backup ?
2) Shall we perform cross domain restore for different NBU version ?
3) If so Please advise the steps to perform the activity.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Please tell us more about for plan and configuration.
If X domain's master can reach to destination NDMP host, just add it in X domain's NDMP host and initiate restore in X domain. Otherwise, if X domain's master can not talk to destination NDMP host, you need to import from tapes brought into Y domain.
Be sure both source and destination NDMP host must be same vendor. NDMP backup is not portable across vendors - NDMP backup on NetApp can not be restored to EMC for example.
