Arkeia Network Backup can manage backups and restorations of NAS (network attached storage) devices which are NDMP-compliant (network data management protocol compliant).

Most NAS devices do not permit the installation of software, so Arkeia cannot be installed on them. Backup and restoration of NAS data is managed by an NDMP server which controls the NAS device. Arkeia controls the NAS backup by sending commands to the NDMP server.

Arkeia supports NDMP Version 3.
