Back up KVM protection groups from on-premises ONTAP systems to Amazon Web Services, Azure NetApp Files, or StorageGRID. When you back up a protection group, NetApp Backup and Recovery backs up the VMs and storage pools in that group and stores the backup in an object store in your public or private cloud account.
