About Dell™ NetVault™ Backup Plug‑in for NDMP

Dell NetVault Backup Plug‑in for NDMP (Plug‑in for NDMP) is an advanced data protection solution for information stored in Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices running Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP). It provides efficient backup and recovery options regardless of the NDMP network configuration model in use. The plug-in also offers advanced features, including browsable volume selection and Direct Access Restore (DAR), which lets you quickly find what must be restored to provide rapid time-to-recovery.
Key benefits
•
Recover faster with Direct Access Restore (DAR): Filers that support DAR can take advantage of this NDMP feature, which enables fast recovery of whole directories, single files, or subsets of files by recording each file’s location within the backup media. This feature eliminates the need for you to read sequentially through the entire backup set to locate and restore individual files.
•
Operate seamlessly between multiple platforms: The Plug‑in for NDMP supports mixed server environments with integrated data protection for UNIX®, Windows®, Linux®, and NAS devices.
•
Choose from multiple backup configuration options: Increase NAS and network availability by defining NDMP-based backup functions to meet your existing storage environment. The plug-in supports all five NDMP data transfer models. NetVault Backup and Plug-in for NDMP work together to support dynamic sharing of tape devices in a NAS/SAN storage environment leveraging existing tape technology investments.
•
Ensure efficient backup performance: Experience fast NDMP backups regardless of the type or location of secondary storage devices in use. A filer backup can be performed to any machine with a direct attached device — you are not limited to just the backup server or NAS appliance.
•
Manage and control distributed data centrally: Leverage data transfer over the network while maintaining centralized backup administration.
