Review each of the topics to get started with the NDMP agent.
Step 1: Obtain Your User Credentials to Access the Command Center
Obtain the following information from your administrator:
-
The Command Center URL
-
Your Command Center user credentials
If the Command Center is not set up in your CommCell environment, contact your administrator to deploy the Command Center. For more information, see Quick Start Guide.
Step 2: Log On to the Command Center
Accessing the Command Center by using the URL and user account credentials that you obtained from the administrator.
Step 3: Add a NAS Server
To back up NDMP file system data, you must add a NAS server. (Because the software for the NDMP Agent is installed automatically as part of the MediaAgent installation, no additional software is needed.)
Note
If the data you want to backup resides on a Storage Virtual Machine (vFiler or Vserver), configure the Storage Virtual Machine as the NAS server.
If you want to use IntelliSnap to back up NDMP, add a storage array when you add the NAS server.
For instructions, see Adding a NAS Server.
Step 4: Perform Your First Backup and Restore
To confirm that your system is set up correctly, perform an on-demand backup, and then perform a restore.
