This information is provided to help you use NetBackup for NDMP with an Isilon system.
For further details, contact Dell.
To enable NDMP
- Access the management browser to sign in to the system.
- Select Backup > Configuration, then select the username and password, and enable the NDMP service state.
OneFS 7.1 introduced two new features for NDMP backups: Snapshot-based incrementals and unlimited incremental backups. These features are enabled and disabled with environment variables that are set in the list in a NetBackup policy:
set BACKUP_MODE=SNAPSHOT
Enables snapshot-based incrementals.
set LEVEL=10
In OneFS 7.1, Isilon implemented a feature enabling unlimited incremental backups. This feature is enabled by setting the LEVEL environment variable to 10.
You can set the LEVEL environment for Differential Incremental backup schedules only. For Full or Cumulative Incremental schedules, the value is ignored.
Note:
In OneFS 8.0, Isilon introduced NDMP restartable backups (checkpoints). NetBackup does not support this feature.
The NDMP logs can be found at /var/log/isi_ndmp_d on each node.
To monitor system status from the management browser, go to Alerts to view alert activity.
