NetBackup NAS operational notes

NetBackup Snapshot Manager and NDMP V4 snapshot extension can make snapshots of client data on a NAS host. A NAS snapshot is a point-it-time disk image. You can retain the Snapshots on the disk for any duration. Using the Instant Recovery feature in NetBackup, you can efficiently restore the data from the disk. Broadly, in NetBackup, snapshot-based data protection for NAS can be performed using NAS-Data-Protection policy and NDMP policy. This topic contains some of the operational notes and known issues that are associated with NetBackup NAS in NetBackup 11.1.0.2.
