Qumulo NAS array
NetBackup provides a robust data protection solution for the shares that are set up on a Network Attached Storage (NAS) storage host. NetBackup extends this NAS support and lets you protect NFS exports that are hosted in a Qumulo environment. You can configure Snapshot Manager for Data Center to discover and then perform backup and restore operations on Network File System (NFS) exports.
The Snapshot Manager for Data Center plug-in for Qumulo contains the necessary functional logic that enables NetBackup to discover the NFS exports on the Qumulo cluster. NetBackup then create, export, deport, and delete snapshot operations for those exports. You must configure this plug-in on the NetBackup primary server.
Snapshot Manager for Data Center uses the REST API SDK Qumulo (qumulo-api) provides to communicate with the Qumulo assets. Snapshot Manager for Data Center establishes a connection with Qumulo by using the RestClient library exposed by SDK. NetBackup, then uses the SDK methods to discover the NFS exports and their snapshots that need to be backed up.
