For filer-specific configuration notes, see relevant Quest NetVault Backup Plug‑in for NDMP Application Notes.

Adding an NDMP Server

To start using the plug-in for backups and restores, you must add the applicable filers to the plug-in, and configure a user account to log in to the filer.

1
In the Navigation pane, click Guided Configuration, and then on the NetVault Configuration Wizard page, click Create Backup Jobs.
2
To open the NetVault Backup Selections page, click Create New next to the Selections list.
4
Click NDMP Client, and select Add Server from the context menu.

In the NDMP Server dialog box, configure the following settings.

Name

Type a name for the filer. The filer name must be unique. You can assign the actual name of the filer to easily identify it in the NetVault Backup environment.

Address(es)

Type the IP address of the filer.

Port

By default, the filer is configured to listen on port number 10000.

Unless otherwise required, do not change the listener port for the filer.

Account

Specify a user account that can be used to log in to the filer. The user account must have necessary privileges to perform NDMP backups and restores.

Password

Type the password for the user account.

Use UTF-8 Conversions

To convert the filenames and display them correctly according to the locale configured on the NetVault Backup WebUI, select this check box. This feature can only be used if the filer supports UTF-8 encoding.

To use this feature, do the following:

Set the configuration option Codepage for UTF-8 Conversions. For more information, see Configuring default settings.
NOTE: For NetApp filers, the actual conversion is specified on a per-job basis by setting the option Request Unicode File Information in the Backup Options Set. However, the Use UTF-8 Conversions check box must be selected to use this feature.
