Protecting Data on PowerVault NX3500 119

NDMP Design Considerations

• Use DNS name for the NDMP server when setting up backup in DMAs, so
that load-balancing is used.
• Limit the number of concurrent backup jobs to one per controller to make
data transfer quick.
• Your solution supports only a three-way backup, wherein the DMA server
mediates the data transfer between NAS appliance and storage device.
Make sure the DMA server has enough bandwidth.
