Snapshot Replication
NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center Replication can replicate snapshots on a NetApp cluster mode array. Clustered Data ONTAP (cDOT) is used to replicate snapshots between storage virtual machines (SVMs or vServers) and between cDOT clusters.
Both NAS and SAN are supported for replication. The NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center supports NetApp synchronous as well as asynchronous replication. For synchronous replication, Sync and StrictSync policies are supported. For asynchronous replication, policies like DPDefault, MirrorAllSnapshots, MirrorAndVault, MirrorLatest, Unified7year and XDPDefault are supported.
The supported policies are represented as 'NetApp_SnapMirror' and 'NetApp_SnapVault' replication types within NetBackup. Users can choose these replication types as the replication destination in SLP to replicate the snapshots to the desired replication destination.
The following table depicts the differentiation of various policies under NetApp_SnapMirror and NetApp_SnapVault.
Policy type | Policy name | Replication type |
|---|---|---|

MirrorAllSnapshots | ||
MirrorLatest | ||
MirrorAndVault | NetApp_SnapVault | |
