Network Data Management Protocol
A communications protocol that allows data storage devices, robotic library devices, and backup applications to intercommunicate for the purpose of performing backups.
Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) is an open standard protocol for network-based backup of NAS devices. It allows a network backup application to control the retrieval of data from, and backup of, a server. The control and data transfer components of backup and restore are separated. NDMP is intended to support tape drives and can be extended to address other devices and media. The SNIA offers an NDMP v4 reference implementation.
