Arkeia Network Backup supports the Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) in order to integrate the backup of compliant Network Attached Storage (NAS) filers. As for any other data source, NDMP-compliant devices can be backed up to VTL, tape drives, or autoloaders. Key benefits of Arkeia’s technology include reduced backup windows and faster data restore of the filer.
Main Features
- Direct Access Recovery (DAR) allows quick restore of a single file or groups of files
- Support for NDMP v3 and all NDMP v3 compliant filers
- Local NDMP backup to a NAS attached tape drive or library
- Remote NDMP backup to disk (VTL) or tape of any Media Server
- Remote NDMP backup to a SAN shared tape drive
- 3-way NDMP backup allows backup to a remote tape drive or library attached to another NAS device
- Centralized GUI and command-line interface administration
Main Benefits
- Reduces network bandwidth requirements: no need to transfer the data through the network for local and SAN NDMP backups
