NetApp Backup and Recovery Reviews & Product Details

The NetApp Console simplifies the implementation of any backup strategy, including the spectrum of 3-2-1 backup variants, without needing multiple resource managers or specialized personnel. 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.
