Backup Configurations
NDMP Local Backup
In an NDMP local backup configuration, shown below, zero, one, or
more tape drive(s) per SP is connected directly to the SCSI HBA in the
IP4700 system, and backup data flows from the IP4700 system
directly to the tape drive. Using the LAN, the backup server uses
NDMP to instruct the IP4700 system to perform the backup. The
backup server can also back up LAN clients. The backup server still
manages the index, or catalog data.
