NDMP Configuration

The Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) service enables the system to participate in NDMP-based backup and restore operations controlled by a remote NDMP client called a Data Management Application (DMA). Using NDMP, data stored in administrator-created shares on the appliance can be backed up and restored to both locally attached tape devices and remote systems. Locally-attached tape devices can also be exposed to the DMA for backing up and restoring remote systems.

NDMP cannot be used to back up and restore system configuration data. Instead, use the Configuration Backup and Restore feature (see Backing Up the Configuration in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Customer Service Manual, Release OS8.8.x).

To configure NDMP, see the following sections:

• NDMP Local vs. Remote Configurations

• NDMP Backup Formats and Types

• NDMP Backup with Types dump and tar

• NDMP Backup with Type zfs

• NDMP Incremental Backups

• Replica Backups

• NDMP Properties and Logs
