Backing Up a Volume's Files
You can back up volume files by working around the namespace and connecting
directly to its back-end filers. Backups are read operations, so they cannot corrupt
namespace metadata. This can follow the same workflow that was used before the
introduction of the ARX. For example, you might use NDMP to store file-server
backups on a single server or storage device:
backup server
servers
backup
ARX
clients
This chapter explains how to restore files from a backup server like the one shown
above.
