Backup Options

When you select a NAS server to back up, a customized set of standard Arcserve Backup options are available. Some of the standard options are not available due to the version of NDMP in use on the NAS server. Other options are not available due to the limitations of a vendor’s particular server.

For example, Arcserve Backup does not support backing up multiple folders from the same volume as part of the same job on most NAS servers. You can select individual folders as part of separate jobs and schedule them to run concurrently. If you specify multiple folders, Arcserve Backup recognizes only the first folder in a volume and ignores the rest of the folders specified.

NDMP version 3 does not support multi-byte or Unicode names. This can cause the granularity of the backup session's restore view to be reduced.

Network Appliance NAS servers, however, enable you to back up multiple files and folders in a single volume.
