Beginning with ONTAP tools for VMware vSphere 10.5, the backup feature is enabled by default and a backup is created every 10 minutes. You can disable the backup or edit the frequency of the backup.

Do not disable the backup because it prevents ONTAP tools from maintaining low RPO. Disabling the backup doesn't delete the existing backup files. You can change the frequency of the backup to a value between 10 and 60 minutes.

Steps

  1. Launch ONTAP tools Manager from a web browser: https://<ONTAPtoolsIP>:8443/virtualization/ui/

  2. Log in with the ONTAP tools for VMware vSphere administrator credentials you provided during deployment.

  3. Select the Settings > Backup > Edit option.

  4. In the edit window, you can disable the backup or edit the backup frequency.
