To use BlueXP ransomware protection, perform a few steps to set it up.

Before you begin, review prerequisites to ensure that your environment is ready.

Prepare the backup destination

Prepare one of the following backup destinations:

  • NetApp StorageGRID

  • Amazon Web Services

After you configure options in the backup destination itself, you will later configure it as a backup destination in the BlueXP ransomware protection service.

Prepare StorageGRID to become a backup destination

If you want to use StorageGRID as your backup destination, refer to StorageGRID documentation for details about StorageGRID.

Prepare AWS to become a backup destination

For details about managing your AWS storage in BlueXP, refer to Manage your Amazon S3 buckets.

Set up BlueXP

The next step is to set up BlueXP and the BlueXP ransomware protection service.

Review standard BlueXP requirements.

Create a Connector in BlueXP

You should reach out to your NetApp Sales Rep to try out this service. Then, when you use the BlueXP Connector, it will include the appropriate capabilities for the ransomware protection service.

To create a Connector in BlueXP before using the service, refer to the BlueXP documentation that describes how to create a BlueXP Connector.

Note If you have multiple BlueXP Connectors, the service will scan data across all Connectors beyond the one that currently shows in the BlueXP UI. This service discovers all workspaces and all Connectors associated with this account.

Access BlueXP ransomware protection

You use NetApp BlueXP to log in to the BlueXP ransomware protection service. From the BlueXP left navigation, select Protection > Ransomware protection.

For details, refer to Access BlueXP ransomware protection.

Configure backup destinations in BlueXP ransomware protection

Use the BlueXP ransomware protection backup destinations option to configure backup destinations. For details, refer to Configure settings options.
