Resolution

To set default backup and restore options for NDMP:
 
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.

2. On the Properties pane, under Job Defaults, click NDMP.
 
(A) Enable Direct Access Recovery
 
Select this option to have Backup Exec use Direct Access Recovery (DAR) during the restore job. With DAR-enabled recovery, Backup Exec can specify the exact location of a file in a backup data stream. The NDMP server can then read the data applicable to the single file being restored, which reduces the amount of information that is processed and significantly reduces recovery time. If DAR is not available, the restore may take significantly longer.

(B) Restore without writing data to disk (Verify data without doing a restore)
 
Select this option to have Backup Exec verify the integrity of the data without actually restoring the data. Running a restore job with this option selected is the only way to verify data with the NDMP option.

(C) Backup method
 
Select this option to specify the backup level. Level 0 provides a full backup. Levels 1 through 9 provide various levels of incremental backups. Level 1 backup method backs up new or modified files since the level 0 backup, level 2 backup method backs up new or modified files since the level 1 backup, and so on.

(D) Backup Access Control Lists  
  • Check Backup Access Control Lists to have Backup Exec back up the access control lists during the backup.
  • The access control lists contain the users' or groups' access rights to each share.
  • Disable file history Select this option to prevent the generation of file history data. File history is used to optimize recovery of selected subsets of data from the backup image. File history generation and processing increase the backup time. To improve backup time, check Disabling file history. If file history is made unavailable and you must later restore data, restore the entire backup image.

(E) Restore Access Control Lists 
  • Select this option to have Backup Exec restore the access control list data when the restore is performed. The access control lists contain the users' or groups' access rights to each share.
  • Enable Direct Access Recovery.
  • Select this option to have Backup Exec use Direct Access Recovery (DAR) during the restore job. With DAR-enabled recovery, Backup Exec can specify the exact location of a file in a backup data stream. The NDMP server can then read the data applicable to the single file being restored, which reduces the amount of information that is processed and significantly reduces recovery time. If DAR is not available, the restore may take significantly longer.

3. Select the appropriate Backup/Restore options as follows and Click OK.
