About configuring NDMP-attached devices

This topic explains how to configure backups on the storage devices that are attached to NDMP hosts. Only the NDMP-specific steps are described.

You can also use the NetBackup Device Configuration Wizard to discover and configure the robots and drives that are attached to an NDMP host. The wizard requires NDMP protocol versions V3 or V4.

To configure and use the NAS_Snapshot method, see the NetBackup Snapshot Client Administrator's Guide.
