4 Integrating NDMP Server
and Data Protector

Introduction

This chapter explains how to configure and use the Data Protector Network Data
Management Protocol Server integration (NDMP Server integration). It describes
concepts and methods you need to understand to perform filesystem backups and
restores on a Network Attached Storage device.
Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) is a protocol used to manage backup
and restore operations on a Network Attached Storage device. NDMP uses a client
server model, where the Data Protector NDMP Media Agent client controls the backup,
while the NDMP Server performs the actual backup operations.
The Data Protector NDMP Server integration offers interactive and scheduled filesystem
backups of the following types:
• Full
• Inc1
For information on these backup types, see the HP Data Protector concepts guide.
The Data Protector NDMP Server integration offers two restore types:
• Standard filesystem restore
• Direct access restore
This chapter provides information specific to the Data Protector NDMP Server
integration. For general Data Protector procedures and options, see online Help.

Integration concept

Data Protector integrates with NDMP Server through the Data Protector NDMP library
and the NDMP Media Agent. The Data Protector NDMP library channels
communication between the Data Protector Session Manager, and, via the NDMP
Integration guide for VMware Virtual Infrastructure, Sybase, Network Node Manager,
and Network Data Management Protocol Server 163
