Back up KVM protection groups from on-premises ONTAP systems to Amazon Web Services, Azure NetApp Files, or StorageGRID to ensure that your data is protected. When you back up a protection group, the NetApp Console backs up the VMs and storage pools contained in the protection group. Backups are automatically generated and stored in an object store in your public or private cloud account.
