What does NDMP stand for?
Network Data Management Protocol
Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) NDMP is an open standard protocol for network-based backup for network- attached storage.
What is Avamar NDMP?
Dell EMC™ Avamar™ provides fast, reliable NAS system backup and recovery through the Avamar NDMP Accelerator, dramatically reducing backup times and the impact on NAS resources, allowing an easier and faster recovery. The NDMP accelerator is available as both a virtual and hardware appliance.
What is NDMP backup in NetBackup?
NDMP allows to initiate and control backups and restores of Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems. The NetBackup master or media server where NetBackup for NDMP is installed is called a NetBackup for NDMP server. The host where the NDMP server application resides is called an NDMP host.
When was NDMP created?
NDMP was first proposed by NetApp and Intelliguard in 1995 to address these challenges in protecting NAS platforms. * NDMP is officially defined as an “open standard protocol for network-based backup for network- attached storage.”** The protocol specifies a separation of the control path from the data path.
How does NDMP backup work?
NDMP provides a logical partitioning of the backup activity, through a series of well-defined interfaces that addresses the flow of file system and control data in the backup and restore process. System and backup software vendors add a limited amount of code in their software, as defined by NDMP.
What is NDMP copy?
NDMP, and its use of dump and restore, can be used to copy data between different locations within, or between, storage systems. These storage systems can run different releases and/or operate in different modes of Data ONTAP. NetApp, and others, provide several utilities to facilitate copying of data using NDMP.
What is NDMP Accelerator node?
The NDMP accelerator is a dedicated single node that provides a complete backup and recovery solution. The NDMP accelerator acts as a pass-through conduit from the NAS device to the Avamar server and can support multiple NAS storage devices.
Which are the three key features of an Avamar system?
