114 Protecting Data on PowerVault NX3500
Backing Up and Restoring Data
It is recommended that you back up your data in regular intervals.
The PowerVault NX3500 system supports backup and restore using Network
Data Management Protocol (NDMP). An NDMP agent installed on the
PowerVault NX3500 ensures that stored data can be backed up and restored
using an industry-standard Data Management Application (DMA) that
supports NDMP protocol, without needing to install vendor-specific agents
on the NAS appliance.
In order to perform backup and restore operations, a DMA needs to be
configured to be able to access the NAS appliance using the LAN or client
network. PowerVault NX3500 does not use a dedicated address for backup
operations, any configured LAN or client network address can be used for
backup and restore operations.
