Configure D-NAS policy for NAS volumes
Using the NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center you can perform hardware snapshots of shares and volumes. The snapshots are accessed on backup hosts and read by dynamic streams to create point-in-time backup copies. The following procedure describes how to configure a D-NAS policy to use hardware snapshots of NAS volumes.
