To run a successful image backup, you must first define an NDMP Backup job. You also need access to an NDMP backup to restore from.
In the main desktop interface window, go to the Restore tab, and from the Restore Modes section in the task panel, choose NDMP.
This action will take you to the view for defining a new restore job. If you were editing a different restore job and wish to start a new one, click Define New Restore Job.
Select the source (a previously created NDMP backup) and the destination for your restore job. Then, click Save Restore Job.
Tip. To restore NDMP data, each NDMP node requires a unique restore definition, and you cannot mix NDMP and non-NDMP data within a single restore definition or restore from multiple NDMP backups simultaneously.
NDMP data should only be restored to NDMP nodes from the same vendor, and non-NDMP data cannot be restored to NDMP nodes.
Additionally, NDMP restores must be executed by a system administrator or an account with the necessary permissions to manage storage and write data, with specific permission requirements detailed in the storage vendor's documentation
Attention! If the status of a disk object is offline, you cannot browse the disk in the management console or select it as a restore destination.
Now you can create a Job Name, select a Folder, and add a Comment to your Restore Job. When you click OK, your NDMP Restore job will be saved.
NDMP Restore is a restore mode that is used to recover data backed up in an NDMP backup. This mode allows DPX to restore data to Network Attached Storage (NAS) appliances using the Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP), handling the details of communication between nodes running NDMP-compliant software. This makes it an essential tool for data recovery in environments that utilize NAS appliances.
