Create a NAS NDMP backup job to protect volumes on a NAS asset using the Network Data Management Protocol.
Each selected volume is backed up in a separate job, and jobs run as NDMP connections become available.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN  Review Backup jobs and ensure you have added your NAS asset with NDMP support to the Unitrends appliance.
See Managing protected assets for instructions.
