The network data management protocol (NDMP) is an industry-standard programming interface that provides best practice backup and recovery for NAS systems. An NDMP-approach enables a backup server to communicate directly with a NAS filer and to transmit data to the specified backup storage device. NDMP eliminates the need for backup vendors to write device-specific code for NAS devices to facilitate backup.
