That it’s a legacy protocol clinging to relevance while modern API-based approaches have moved on. Right? And I get the appeal of that story. It’s clean. It’s simple. But if you’re actually running a large NAS estate in production, you know it’s not that straightforward.</p> <p>NDMP backup still protects the majority of enterprise NAS data. Not because people haven’t heard of the alternatives, but because ripping out a backup protocol that’s wired into your filer infrastructure is a project nobody wants to fund when the current approach works. The real pain, for most teams we talk to, isn’t the protocol itself. It’s everything around it: the legacy GUIs, the CLI-only configuration, the two-console shuffle just to troubleshoot a single failed job.</p>
