Steps for backup process in 3-way mode:
it is necessary to run
Device Configuration Wizard
and add at least two NDMP hosts (the first is a
source and the second is a destination with the tape drive). It is also possible to add NDMP hosts from
Media and Device Management/Devices/NDMP Hosts,
next, create policy rules and set policy storage unit which is identical to the destination NDMP host,
finally, set the ndmp client which is the origin for the backup process.
After the steps above have been completed the backup in 3-way mode can be established from the
NDMP host to the storage unit through NetBackup management.
Note: the Data Storage Software with the enabled NDMP Data server
functionality can be used in the following data backup scenarios:
Server to server copy with NDMPCopy
The data can be moved between two Data Storage Severs using the NDMPCopy utility.
To copy data user must define source and destination and authentication credentials for data servers.
The command line for copying data is the following:
ndmpcopy source destination [options].
Source has the following format:
src_filer:src_dir
, where
src_filer
is the name of the filer being copied
from, and
src_dir
is the absolute pathname of the directory being copied. The destination has the
format
dest_filer:dest_dir
, where
dest_filer
is the name of the filer being copied to, and
dest_dir
is
the absolute pathname of the directory to which the source directory is being copied. The destination
directory is created if it does not already exist.
Please note
that you will need to include the keyword
shares
in both the source and the destination
path as per the following example:
ndmpcopy 192.168.0.1:/shares/sourceshare 192.168.0.2:/shares/destinationshare.
Options:
-sa none | user:password source authentication
. If this flag is followed by the word
none
, then no
authentication is used. If it is followed by a user specification then text authentication is used. The
default is text authentication with user root and no password.
-da none | user:password destination authentication
. If this flag is followed by the word
none
, then no
authentication is used. If it is followed by a user specification then text authentication is used. The
default is text authentication with user root and no password.
-sport port
. NDMP port to use for the source filer. This should normally be left unchanged. The default is
10000.
