    All the following informations are available within the published documentation:

    1. Set up the tape library and media

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-protect/8.1.9?topic=operations-configuring-tape-library-ndmp#t_ndmp_tape_lib_setup

    2. Configure IBM Spectrum Protect policy for managing NAS image backups.

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-protect/8.1.9?topic=environment-configuring-spectrum-protect-policy-ndmp-operations#t_ndmp_tsm_policy_configuring

    3. Register a NAS file server node with the IBM Spectrum Protect server.

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-protect/8.1.9?topic=environment-registering-nas-nodes-spectrum-protect-server#t_ndmp_nas_nodes_registering

    4. Define a data mover for the NAS file server.

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-protect/8.1.9?topic=environment-defining-data-mover-nas-file-server#t_ndmp_nas_file_server_data_mover_defining

    5. Define a path from either the IBM Spectrum Protect server or the NAS file server to the library.

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-protect/8.1.9?topic=operations-defining-paths-libraries#t_ndmp_lib_path_defining

    6. Define the tape drives to IBM Spectrum Protect, and define the paths to those drives from the NAS file server and optionally from the IBM Spectrum Protect server.

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-protect/8.1.9?topic=environment-defining-paths-ndmp-operations#t_ndmp_drives_tape_defining

    7. Check tapes into the library and label them.

    8. Optional: Set up scheduled backups for NAS file servers.

    9. Optional: Define a virtual file space name. See Defining virtual file spaces.

    10. Optional: Configure the tape-to-tape copy function to back up data. See Backing up data with the tape-to-tape function.

    11. Optional: Configure the tape-to-tape copy function to move data to a different tape technology.
