From the Paper:

"The common objective of enterprise-wide networking managers has been to ensure centrally managed enterprise-wide data protection for the users in a divergent environment. The enterprise visualizes its capability of preserving and restoring data is an obligation as a dial tone. However, the divergent nature of network storage environment necessitates backup solutions to cater to the requirement of an innumerable number of operating system platforms and media devices. The requirement in such lines is considered as one of the driving forces that led to devising of the standard Network Data Management Protocol -- NDMP, regarded as a scalable solution for such problems by defining a common architecture for preservation and restoration of data located on heterogeneous file servers in the enterprise.
