Well restoring ndmp backups between different ndmp devices is possible but you only need to make sure that source volume path exists with sufficient space equivalent to the bakcup size on the destination path. why i say that because its been tried and tested where we ran into a situation when source ndmp device was decommissioned long ago but backups were still on tape and we restored its data on a different ndmp device.
