Backups using NAS-Data-Protection policy

NAS-Data-Protection policy is a robust approach to backup the data residing on NAS storage. It is also known as dynamic NAS or D-NAS policy. NetBackup Snapshot Manager and the storage array plug-ins can make snapshots of NAS volumes and shares. The dynamic data streams can access the snapshots on the backup hosts and read them to create point-in-time backup copies. For more details about D-NAS policy, see Section 2 of this guide.
