'''NDMP''', or '''Network Data Management Protocol''', is a [[Communications protocol|protocol]] meant to transport data between network attached storage ([[Network-attached storage|NAS]]) devices and [[backup]] devices. This removes the need for transporting the data through the backup server itself, thus enhancing speed and removing load from the backup server. It was originally invented by [[NetApp filer|NetApp]] and Intelliguard, acquired by Legato and then [[EMC Corporation]]. Currently, the [[Storage Networking Industry Association]] (SNIA) oversees the development of the protocol.
Most contemporary multi-platform [[backup software]] support this protocol.
