What is "Is Cleanup Pending?" For NDMP?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9.x
- NDMP
- Third party backup application
Answer
- If a NDMP backup is created as "restartable" by the backup application a "context" is created to keep track of the progress
- Only a specific amount of this context can be kept in ONTAP NDMP
- When the backup job is finished the backup application will delete the context and the parameter is set to true until the context is deleted
- If a "restartable" backup job fails, the context is not deleted and the parameter is set to false
