Managing NDMP environment variables
In OneFS, you can manage NDMP backup and recovery operations by specifying default NDMP environment variables. You can also override default NDMP environment variables through your data management application (DMA).
You can add, view, edit, and delete environment variables. The environment variables can be managed on a per-backup-path basis. They are appended to the environment variables passed from a DMA in a backup or recovery session.
The following table lists the DMAs that allow you to directly set environment variables:
