NDMP Backup to "Backup-Repository"?

[oliverL]

Hey there,

searching for "ndmp" in this forum i couldn't find anything related to my question and since ndmp is used with nas-servers i opened this topic here.

I just wondered why ndmp backups can only use tape as a destination? Since we need to configure a gateway server for the ndmp backup, it should be possible to save the contents of a fileserver with ndmp to any backup repository or deduplication appliance that is configured within veeam.

Is this something on the roadmap for future releases?

many thanks!

Hello Oliver,

NDMP backups are supported by tape jobs only. We don't have any sort-term plans to support NDMP to disk. For file share backup you can use newly released nas backup functionality available in Veeam B&R v10. Cheers!

Just to add to this, we have many customers using VTL (Virtual Tape Library) to use our NDMP dump capability to disk. The most common VTL providers that I have seen customers use are StarWind VTL and the Amazon AWS VTL.
