Thanks for the reply.
As I read in the Ontap 9 documentation, there are two levels, SVM level and node level.
"You can perform tape backup and restore operations at the storage virtual machine (SVM) level successfully if the NDMP service is enabled on the SVM. You can back up and restore all volumes hosted across different nodes in the SVM of a cluster if the backup application supports the CAB extension. "
On the other hand, in the Veeam documentation I read the following:
"Limitations for NDMP Servers
- Only backup of whole volume is supported.
- The NetApp “SVM-scoped NDMP” mode is supported, however Veeam Backup & Replication does not support the NetApp Cluster Aware Backup (CAB) extension of the NDMP protocol. In SVM-scoped configuration, each cluster node must be added to the backup user interface on their own data LIF IP / DNS address. This is also known as “Node-scoped NDMP”.
- The NDMP server performs its own backup consistency check for the NDMP volumes. To provide for the correct calculation of the delta of changes and to ensure the backup chain integrity, Veeam Backup & Replication does not allow adding one NDMP volume to more than one file in tape jobs. "
What mode should be used?
If the node level is to be used, would it be valid for SVM-DR?
Thanks.
