At the trailing end of the protection continuum lies traditional backup and restore—whether to tape or disk. With high RPO and RTOs, this is the bastion of any data protection strategy and usually forms the crux of a ‘data insurance policy’
OneFS facilitates performant backup and restore functionality through its support of the ubiquitous Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP). NDMP is an open-standard protocol that provides interoperability with leading data-backup products and OneFS supports both NDMP versions 3 and 4. OneFS also supports both direct NDMP (referred to as 2-way NDMP), and remote NDMP (referred to as 3-way NDMP) topologies.
