NetApp Ransomware Resilience offers protection groups to facilitate easier management of your data estate. Protection groups are logical groupings of workloads. Ransomware Resilience can protect all volumes in a protection group at the same time with a single protection strategy, sparing you from applying a strategy to each workload.
Required Console role
To perform this task, you need the Organization admin, Folder or project admin, or Ransomware Resilience admin role. Learn about Ransomware Resilience roles for NetApp Console.
