Network Backup Applications Overview

You can use third-party backup applications on any computer on the network with
a tape drive attached to perform a network backup. The NAS 8000 supports the
following backup applications:
Note:
8000 device. Additionally, any backup failover package that can back up a CIFS or
NFS mount without using the backup agent should be compatible. Contact the software
vendors for compatibility information with network-attached storage devices.
Backup files are accessed using file protocols such as CIFS or NFS via the
network. Backup and restore via CIFS protocols preserves both CIFS and NFS
attributes. Backup and restore via NFS protocols only preserves NFS attributes.
When you run a backup, data from the NAS server transfers over the network to
the backup server running the backup application, and then to the backup
server-attached tape device. The backup application cannot control a tape library
or other tape devices connected to the NAS server.
