Deleting a Snapshot From the NAS Manager, navigate to Data ProtectionSnapshotsList. Click on the check box next to the snapshot name you wish to delete and then click the Delete button. Backing Up and Restoring Data The PowerVault NX3500 system supports backup and restore of data using Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP). An NDMP agent installed on the NAS appliance ensures that data stored on the NAS appliance can be backed up and restored using industry-standard Data Management Application (DMA) that supports NDMP protocol, without needing to install vendor-specific agents on the NAS appliance. In order to perform backup and restore operations, a DMA needs to be configured to be able to access the NAS appliance using the LAN/client network. PowerVault NX3500 does not use a dedicated address for backup operations, any configured LAN/client network address can be used for backup and restore operations. 100 Protecting Data on PowerVault NX3500

Backing Up and Restoring Data
The PowerVault NX3500 system supports backup and restore of data using
Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP). An NDMP agent installed on
the NAS appliance ensures that data stored on the NAS appliance can be
backed up and restored using industry-standard Data Management
Application (DMA) that supports NDMP protocol, without needing to install
vendor-specific agents on the NAS appliance.
In order to perform backup and restore operations, a DMA needs to be
configured to be able to access the NAS appliance using the LAN/client
network. PowerVault NX3500 does not use a dedicated address for backup
operations, any configured LAN/client network address can be used for
backup and restore operations.
