NAS Device Backup Solutions: NDMP
Overview The explosion of data generation and storage in recent years has led to the introduction of new technologies for storing and managing this data. One of the online storage architectures that has emerged is Network Attached Storage (NAS), which essentially separates application servers and data, and stores the data on storage devices that perform dedicated file serving tasks. A NAS device is typically a dedicated, high-performance, high-speed communicating single-purpose file server. While offering many storage management benefits, Network Attached Storage presents data backup performance and integrity challenges to organizations that attempt to incorporate NAS into their traditional data protection practices. NDMP (Network Data Management Protocol) was developed to address those challenges by creating efficient and sound backup methodologies that offer high performance restoration capabilities in NAS environments. The NAS backup solutions discussed in this document present solutions of varying degrees of performance, production impact, restoration capabilities, and preservation of file system integrity. An optimal solution incorporates an appropriate combination of these technologies to achieve an organization's recovery point objectives as well as recovery time objectives.
