Script Description

The ndmp-fs-info.nse script lists remote file systems by querying the remote device using the Network Data Management Protocol (ndmp).

The following products are known to support the protocol:

  • Amanda
  • Bacula
  • CA Arcserve
  • CommVault Simpana
  • EMC Networker
  • Hitachi Data Systems
  • IBM Tivoli
  • Quest Software Netvault Backup
  • Symantec Netbackup
