NAME

       ndmpd - Network Data Management Protocol daemon

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/ndmpd [-d]

DESCRIPTION

       The ndmpd daemon handles client Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) requests. NDMP is an open, enterprise-wide, network-based data man-
       agement protocol used for backup and recovery. The ndmpd daemon enables users to manage data backup  and  recovery  using  Data	Management
       Application  (DMA)  clients.  The NDMP protocol is used to coordinate data movement and control between a DMA and an NDMP server or between
       two NDMP servers.

       By default, ndmpd is disabled.
