NDMP Notes and Caveats:

Reference: See NetVault Backup NDMP Plugin Users Guide and Release Notes for details. Requirement: This patch is required for Basic NDMP capabilities. Note: These patches are required for NDMP2D Capabilities (These are device templates). Caveat: EOM errors can be addressed with the following modifications: Work around for filling tapes to span Media when Unexpected EOM Issues are encountered Addition of Test On Sync=FALSE to the Config file ndmpversions.cfg. Example for ONStor Filers: [ONStor-V4:Mover Server] Tape Postfix=h Allow nonNdmp Transfers=true Backup window = true Test On Sync=FALSE Caveat: This is a Windows only issue. NCG-257 Relocate option for NDMP restore does not relocate but renames instead. Example: For files in /Test/2nd/3rd that have been backed up and a Relocate of subdirectory "2nd" is specified. Here is the expected and the actual results of this operation: Updated April 25, 2011 Page 10 of 20

NetVault Backup NAS and NDMP Compatibility Guide

Actual Incorrect Result (Rename instead of a relocate is performed) /Test /2nd /Test /2nd /3rd

Original Filesystem /Test /2nd /3d

Expected Correct Result /2nd /3d

Caveat: This is a Windows only issue (Linux has no issues). Minimum Software Requirement: v7.1.15
