Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows: Administrator's Guide


|Technical Changes for Version 4 Release 2.1--September 2001

|The following changes have been made to the product for this edition: |

|Tivoli Data Protection for NDMP
|The new Tivoli Data Protection for NDMP product supports NDMP backup and |restore for network-attached storage (NAS) file servers from Network |Appliance. NDMP is an industry-standard protocol that allows a network |storage-management application to control the backup and restore of an |NDMP-compliant file server without installing third-party software on that |server. The NAS file server does not require installation of Tivoli |Storage Manager software. The Tivoli Storage Manager server uses NDMP |to connect to the NAS file server to initiate, control, and monitor a file |system backup or restore operation. The NDMP support for NAS file |servers enables higher performance backup to tape devices without moving the |data over the LAN. Tivoli Data Protection for NDMP is a separately |priced and licensed product. See Chapter 5, Setting Up Tivoli Data Protection for NDMP for more information.
