Data Formats for Tivoli Data Protection for NDMP

During backup operations involving NDMP, the NAS filer controls the format of the data written to the library. The NDMP format is not the same as the data format used for traditional Tivoli Storage Manager backups. When you define a NAS file server as a data mover and define a storage pool for NDMP operations, you specify the data format. For example, you would specify NETAPPDUMP if the NAS file server is a Network Appliance device.

Additional data formats will be added as Tivoli Storage Manager adds support for NAS file servers from other vendors.
