The Plug‑in for NDMP supports both Full and Incremental Backups. The backup type is determined by the Dump Level that can be set to Level 0 for a Full Backup or Level 1 through Level 9 for Incremental Backups:
• |
Level 0 or Full Backup: A Full Backup provides a backup of all the data in the selected path. |
• |
Level 1 through 9 or Incremental Backup: The Incremental Backups base themselves on the most recent lower‑level Incremental Backup, and include any data that has changed or is new since the last Full or Incremental Backup. |
NOTE: Clustered Data ONTAP 8.3 supports 32 (0 to 31) levels of Incremental Backups (Level 0 is a Full Backup and Level 1 through Level 31 are Incremental Backups). For more information, see the Clustered Data ONTAP 8.3 Data Protection Tape Backup and Recovery Guide. |
In Data ONTAP 7.x-7G and 7-mode, the Plug‑in for NDMP can be used to back up files, directories, qtrees, and volumes as well as snapshots stored on volumes.
