NAME
     ndmpd - Network Data Management Protocol daemon

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/ndmpd [-d]


DESCRIPTION
     The ndmpd daemon handles client Network Data Management Pro-
     tocol  (NDMP)  requests.  NDMP  is an open, enterprise-wide,
     network-based data management 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 move-
     ment and control between a DMA and an NDMP server or between
     two NDMP servers.


     By default, ndmpd is disabled.
