Dell PowerStore Protecting Your Data

Enable NDMP backup

You can configure standard backup for the NAS servers using NDMP. The Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) provides a standard for backing up file servers on a network. When NDMP is enabled, a third-party Data Management Application (DMA) can detect the PowerStore NDMP using the NAS server IP address.

About this task

Enabling NDMP is performed after the NAS server is created.

PowerStore supports:

  • Three-way NDMP - The data is transferred through the DMA over a local area network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN).
  • Full and incremental backups

Steps

  1. Select Storage > NAS Servers > [nas server] > Protection .
  2. Under NDMP Backup, if Disabled is on, slide the button to change to Enabled.
  3. Enter a password for the New Password.
    The username is always ndmp.
  4. Reenter the same password as the new password in Verify Password.
  5. Click Apply.

Next steps

Leave the NDMP page, and return back to the NDMP page to validate that NDMP is enabled.
