Features of the NDMP feature
The Backup Exec NDMP feature uses the Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) to back up and restore network-attached storage NDMP servers.
You can use the following configurations to back up data from a NDMP server:
-
A direct-attached configuration in which a tape device or a virtual tape library is directly connected to the NDMP server.
-
A three-way configuration in which a tape device or a virtual tape library is connected to another NDMP server.
-
A remote configuration in which a storage device is attached to the Backup Exec server.
-
A configuration in which any storage device is attached to the same SAN as the Backup Exec server.Note: You cannot back up data from an NDMP server to a simulated tape library or to a tape device that is attached to a Backup Exec Remote Media Agent for Linux.
You cannot redirect backup sets from an NDMP server to a computer that runs the Windows or Linux operating systems.
