NDMP is a communication protocol that allows interaction with a NAS server on the network. It lets a backup application, such as Arcserve Backup, control the backup and retrieval of data performed by an NDMP server. The NDMP-enabled server executes on NAS servers. It enables data transfers between tape library units and disks connected locally and remotely to any NAS server on the network.
NDMP allows a network backup application, such as Arcserve Backup, to initiate backup operations from a network node. The backup application does not transfer data. Instead, the NDMP server executing on the NAS server performs the data transfer.
