Connect the backup devices: Depending on the Data Transfer Model that you are using, connect the backup device to the NetVault Backup Server, Client, or NetApp filer.
•
Add the NetApp filer: Add the NetApp filer as an NDMP Server to the Plug-in for NDMP. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Backup Plug-in for NDMP User's Guide.
•
In a filer-to-filer data transfer model, add both the target filer and the filer to which the backup device is connected to as NDMP Servers.
•
Add the backup devices: Add the backup device to the NetVault Backup Server if the device is connected to a filer or NetVault Backup Client. For more information about adding devices, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.
•
Enable UTF-8 encoding: To use UTF-8 encoding, do the following:
1
Enable UTF-8 encoding on the filer and each target volume.
2
Configure appropriate language-type on each target volume.
To determine if UTF-8 encoding is supported on the target filer and for instructions on configuring Character Set Encoding on the filer, see the relevant filer documentation.
•
Verify that the NDMP service is set to Storage Virtual Machine (SVM)-scoped mode on Clustered Data ONTAP 8.3 or later: On Clustered Data ONTAP 8.3 or later, SMTape backups and restores are only supported in SVM-scoped NDMP mode.
