IMPORTANT: Quest recommends that you install the Plug‑in for NDMP on the NetVault Backup Server instead of the client. This step ensures that the plug-in has access to the NetVault Backup Scheduler, which is required for use of the subjob features. If you install the plug-in on a NetVault Backup Client or SmartClient, you must manually configure all jobs. Also, installing the plug-in on the client prevents you from clicking the Volumes node to select all volumes automatically on the NetVault Backup Selections page. You must manually select each volume that you want to back up. |
