NetBackup™ Snapshot Manager for Data Center Administrator's Guide

NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP (CVO)

The NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center NetApp CVO plug-in lets you create, delete, restore, export, and deport snapshots of the following assets on the NetApp CVO:

  • NetApp Logical Unit Number (LUNs) storage units in a SAN environment by iSCSI.

  • NetApp NFS volumes in a NAS environment.

  • NetApp SMB volumes in a NAS environment.

You can use the NetApp CVO as a replication target for the NetApp storage array as well.

This section, and the subsequent sections, provide details related to operations, configuration, and prerequisites.

If your primary server is on-premises and the media server and backup hosts are in the cloud, for the firewall ports requirements, see:

https://support.cohesity.com/s/article/article-100002391

To establish bi-directional connectivity between the backup hosts and CVO, use inbound rules. See:

https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/bluexp-cloud-volumes-ontap/reference-security-groups.html

Note:

It is recommended to keep the backup host and the CVO in the same region, and preferably in the same VPC to reduce cloud networking costs during backup.

Considerations for NetApp CVO plug-in

Cascaded replication relationships are not supported for NetApp CVO.
