After you have completed the steps in Configuring Tivoli Data Protection for NDMP, you are ready for NDMP operations. Use either a client interface or an administrative interface described in Interfaces Used for Tivoli Data Protection for NDMP to perform a file system image backup. For example, to use the Windows NT backup-archive client interface to back up a file system named /vol/vol1 on a NAS file server named NAS1, enter the following command:
dsmc backup nas -nasnodename=nas1 {/vol/vol1}
For more information on the command, see Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Installation and User's Guide or Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX Backup-Archive Installation and User's Guide.
You can perform the same backup operation with a server interface. For example, from the administrative command-line client, back up the file system named /vol/vol1 on a NAS file server named NAS1, by entering the following command:
backup node nas1 /vol/vol1
You can restore the image using either interface. Backups are identical whether they are backed up by using a client interface or a server interface. For example, suppose you want to restore the image backed up in the previous examples. For this example the file system named /vol/vol1 is being restored to /vol/vol2. Restore the file system with the following command, issued from a Windows backup-archive client interface:
dsmc restore nas -nasnodename=nas1 {/vol/vol1} {/vol/vol2}
You can choose to restore the file system by using a server interface. For example, to restore the file system name /vol/vol1 to file system /vol/vol2, for a NAS file server named NAS1, enter the following command:
restore node nas1 /vol/vol1 /vol/vol2
