Please, support to restore NDMP-formatted data retrieved from NAS in a cluster configuration from [tape media](LTO) to another NAS storage system

Why is it useful? : A common-sense solution for backup restoration is achieved with the combination of NAS storage, ISPs, and tape media.
Who would benefit from it? : Nearly all users operating tape backups on NAS storage with a cluster configuration.
How should it work? : Please, see below.

I am seeking support for the restoration of NDMP format backups taken from a NAS with a cluster configuration, to be restored to different hardware or to a NAS running a different version of ONTAP.

[NOT support　=> Support](Current => Request)
 NAS Storage cluster Hardware A (ONTAP 9.x) -> IBM Storage Protect -> Tape Storage A -> LTO8 ( NDMP backup for ONTAP 9.x ) -> Tape Storage A -> IBM Storage Protect -> NAS Storage cluster Hardware A (ONTAP 9.x+y )
 NAS Storage cluster Hardware A (ONTAP 9.x) -> IBM Storage Protect -> Tape Storage A -> LTO8 ( NDMP backup for ONTAP 9.x ) -> Tape Storage A -> IBM Storage Protect -> NAS Storage cluster Hardware B (ONTAP 9.x )
 NAS Storage cluster Hardware A (ONTAP 9.x) -> IBM Storage Protect -> Tape Storage A -> LTO8 ( NDMP backup for ONTAP 9.x ) -> Tape Storage C -> IBM Storage Protect -> NAS Storage cluster Hardware C (ONTAP 9.x+y )
