NDMP backup

[prasad_vasiredd]

Can we backup all the volumes in Netapp filer, instead of giving the volume names in Backup selection of NDMP backup policy.

[Marianne · Accepted solution]

NDMP Admin Guide:

p. 47:
Files
The Backup Selections list must specify directories from the perspective of the NDMP host.
Two examples:
/home/dir1/
/vol1
The following Backup Selections capabilities are NOT supported for an NDMP policy:
■ Wildcards in pathnames. For example, /home/* is an invalid entry.
■ Individual file names. Only directory or volume names are allowed.
■ Exclude list (because client software is not installed on the NDMP host). You can, however, exclude files by using the SET keyword....

Try

/

for file selection.

I am not sure on this. It may not work. but it is worth a try. Otherwise you have to add one line per volume you want to backup.

/vol/vol1
/vol/vol2

etc. pp
