About creating an NDMP policy

On the NetBackup primary server, you must create an NDMP policy to configure backups of the NDMP host.

Note:

You can use the Backup Policy Configuration Wizard to create NDMP policies.

Creating an NDMP policy is very similar to creating other NetBackup policy types. The following topics explain the differences when creating NDMP policies.

  • See Attributes tab options for an NDMP policy.

  • See Schedules tab options for an NDMP policy with Accelerator for NDMP enabled.

  • See Clients tab options for an NDMP policy.

  • See Backup selection options for an NDMP policy.

  • See About appropriate host selection for NetApp cDOT backup policies.

See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I, for more information on NetBackup policies and the Policy utility.

To configure an NDMP policy for the NDMP Snapshot and Replication method, see the NetBackup Replication Director Solutions Guide.

To configure a policy for the NAS_Snapshot method, see the NetBackup Snapshot Client Administrator's Guide.
