NAS (Network Attached Storage) Hard disk storage that is set up with its own network address
as opposed to being attached to the department computer
that is serving applications to a network's workstation users.
By removing storage access and its management from the
department server, both application programming and files
can be served faster because they are not competing for the
same processor resources. The NAS device is attached to a
local area network (typically an Ethernet network) and
assigned an IP address.
NDMP Network Data Management Protocol, a protocol that defines
a common architecture for the way heterogeneous file
servers on a network are backed up.
The protocol will allow the creation of a common agent used
by the central back-up application to back up different file
servers running different platforms and platform versions.
With NDMP, network congestion is minimized because the
data path and control path are separated. Back up can occur
locally—from file servers direct to tape drives, while
management can occur from a central location.
NetVault for GuardianOS
A comprehensive backup solution that is preinstalled on
Snap Servers running GuardianOS 2.6 or higher to support
backup and restore operations to a local tape drive.
NFS (Network File System) A client/server application that allows a computer user to
view and optionally store and update files on a remote
computer as though they were on the user's own computer.
The user's system needs to have an NFS client and the
other computer needs the NFS server. The Snap Server is
configured as an NFS server by default.
NIS (Network Information Service) A network naming and administration system for smaller
networks that was developed by Sun Microsystems. NIS+ is
a later version that provides additional security and other
facilities. The Snap Server accepts NIS users and groups.
node Any device, including servers, workstations, or tape devices,
that are connected to a network; also the point where
devices are connected.
NVDB (NetVault Database) directory A NetVault for GuardianOS database directory stored on the
Snap Server that holds records for the media and backups
performed.
Permissions A security category, such as no access, read-only, or read-
write, that determines what operations a user or group can
perform on folders or files.
