Replicating NAS nodes with NDMP backup data

You can replicate a network-attached storage (NAS) node that contains NDMP (network data management protocol) backup data.

Only NDMP backup data in NATIVE data format storage pools can be replicated. You cannot replicate NDMP images that are stored in storage pools that has the following data formats:

A differential NDMP backup image requires the associated full backup to be restored. Therefore, to replicate a differential NDMP backup image, both full and differential images must be in NATIVE data format storage pools. A full NDMP image in a NATIVE data format storage pool is always eligible for replication. If an NDMP image is replicated, its associated Table of Contents data is also replicated.

When an NDMP image is replicated to a replication target server, a data mover definition must be created on the target replication server. To create a data mover definition, issue the DEFINE DATAMOVER command to restore the data.
