My understanding is NDMP is a standard for the transport of data, not the format of the data. I would not expect an NDMP backup from one vendor to work on the next vendor.
As an example: NetApp supports compression and does not decompress for the backup. They next system would have to understand NetApp compression.

I’m guessing that your current NDMP dumps are in NetApp format, so you can possibly restore those to every NetApp you wish, but nothing else. > Does anyone have any experience or tips?
