Contributors netapp-mwallis

Review the source systems, secondary systems, and object storage destinations that NetApp Backup and Recovery supports for backup and restore operations across workloads.

Supported systems for backup and restore operations

NetApp Backup and Recovery supports ONTAP systems and public and private cloud providers.

Supported regions

NetApp Backup and Recovery is supported with Cloud Volumes ONTAP in many Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud regions.

Supported backup destinations

NetApp Backup and Recovery enables you to back up data from the following source systems to the following secondary systems and object storage in public and private cloud providers. Snapshots reside on the source system.

Note Wasabi is the only qualified S3-compatible object storage provider at this time. Other S3-compatible providers have not been validated.

Supported restore destinations

You can restore data from a backup file, virtual machine, database, or Kubernetes resource that resides in a secondary system (a replicated volume) or in object storage (a backup file) to the following systems. Snapshots reside on the source system and can be restored only to that same system.

Keep the following restore considerations in mind:

  • Restores from Cloud Volumes ONTAP (replication) can only be made to Cloud Volumes ONTAP. However, Cloud Volumes ONTAP in AWS also supports restoring to Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP.

  • Restores from on-premises ONTAP (replication) can only be made to on-premises ONTAP.

  • Restores from first-party Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and Google Cloud NetApp Volumes (replication) can only be made to the respective first-party system.

  • Restoring from Amazon S3 to Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP must follow this order: Amazon S3 to Cloud Volumes ONTAP, and then Cloud Volumes ONTAP to Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP.
