# Getting Started with NDMP

Getting started with backing up NDMP file server data includes verifying the system requirements, adding the NAS file server, and then performing a test backup and restore.

## Procedure

1. Verify that your environment meets the system requirements.

2. To back up NDMP file system data, you must add a NAS file 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.

3. Perform a test backup and restore.
