Replication using D-NAS policy
Using the NetBackup™ Snapshot Manager for Data Center you can replicate the hardware snapshots of NFS and SMB shares. The replicated snapshots are accessed on backup hosts and read by dynamic streams to create point in time backup copies. The following procedure describes how to configure a NAS-Data-Protection policy to use hardware snapshots and replication of NAS volumes.
Note:
For all the supported NAS storage arrays for replication, refer to the NetBackup Snapshot Manager section, under Snapshot Solutions in the NetBackup Hardware and Cloud Storage Compatibility List (HCL).
