netapp restore
Is there an easy way to restore data from a netapp filer to an alternate system such as a Windows system. I have a few volume sthat are part of a cascading relationship primary to mirror to snapvault secondary. I want to restore the data in one of the volumes to a Windows system. I was looking at a various options if snapvault could do it, if OSSV is an option. I want to use somehting other than if possible robocopy or terracopy via a cif share mount. Any help would be greatly apprecaited.

If going to windows robocopy and the like are your best bet. You could possible do a backup/restore using NDMP

How could I make use of NDMP to a WIndows server from the netapp? I've used NDMP to copy luns and volumes within a netapp before.
if you have a backup software such as backup exec, netbackup, commvault, etc.. you could take an ndmp backup and perform a redirected restore

We do have backupexec but I thought redirected restore could only occurr to another NDMP device such as another netapp . I thought it wasn't supported to a Windows server for example.
Check out Commvault, we've been able to do re-directed restores with it, I believe you can do this with Backup Exec as well
