Data Protection

NetApp Keystone data protection service can back up your data and is able to recover it if required. The available data protection services are:

  • Snapshots of disks and shares

  • Backups of disks and shares (requires data protection service as part of the subscription)

  • Disaster recovery for disks and shares (requires data protection service as a part of the subscription)

Note Backup and disaster recovery services are available as add-on services, while snapshot is available as a part of the basic storage service.
Single Region snapshots (Available as a part of the basic storage service) Multi-region Backup (data protection add-on) Multi-region Disaster Recovery (data protection add-on)

Note Subscription to a basic Keystone service does not automatically back up your data. You should subscribe to add-on data protection services and configure your system for data backup and disaster recovery services. If your storage system is not managed by Keystone services, NetApp can still support protecting the data on your storage system and help in connecting it with your Keystone services. However, NetApp is not responsible for any backup failures.
