Dynamic NAS protection is a solution for protecting Network Attached Storage (NAS) environments, offering an alternative to traditional NDMP (Network Data Management Protocol) methods. It employs a crawl- and backup-based approach. This solution internally utilizes the NAS Protection Engine using Filesystem Agents (FSA) with File Based Backup (FBB) technology.
Key Aspects of Dynamic NAS Protection:
- Non-NDMP Approach: Dynamic NAS moves away from the traditional NDMP protocol, which can sometimes have limitations or compatibility issues.
- Crawl-and-Backup Based: The system actively crawls the NAS file system to identify and backup data.
- Filesystem Agents (FSA): It uses FSA to facilitate the backup process at the file level.
- File Based Backup (FBB): Employs FBB technology, backing up individual files.
- NAS Protection Engine: It is internally managed by the NAS Protection Engine.
In summary, Dynamic NAS Protection leverages file-based backup through a crawling mechanism instead of NDMP.
