Users can easily define local snapshots and replication schemes or back up to any object store in the cloud or on-premises using an intuitive interface. NetApp's block-level, incremental-forever technology preserves all storage efficiencies, significantly reducing the amount of data that’s replicated and stored. This approach optimizes bandwidth consumption, minimizes the performance impact on production, and makes it easy to meet the SLAs of even the most demanding workloads. Data copies are independent and can’t be modified. Backups are locked and monitored. Alerts are raised if someone attempts to corrupt the data.  Backup and Recovery gives users more control over how backups are created without adding overhead and complexity. Users can restore entire volumes, directories, or even single files by using a searchable indexed catalog.  Customers pay only for what’s protected, using the lowest-cost storage tiers available.  Show More * * * ### 36.0 Nps Score Already have NetApp Backup and Recovery? ### All NetApp Backup and Recovery Discussions Search Most CommentedMost HelpfulPinned by G2Newest All DiscussionsDiscussions with CommentsPinned by G2Discussions without Comments FilterFilter Filter byExpand/Collapse Sort by Most Commented Most Helpful Pinned by G2 Newest Filter by All Discussions Discussions with Comments Pinned by G2 Discussions without Comments ![Pinned by G2 as a common question](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Pinned by G2 as a common question") G2 Pinned by G2 as a common question • almost 3 years ago More Options - [ # What is NetApp Backup and Recovery used for? ](/discussions/what-is-netapp-backup-and-recovery-used-for) What is NetApp Backup and Recovery used for?
