Beginning with ONTAP 9.19.1, System Manager no longer supports backing up data in the cloud using NetApp Backup and Recovery service. Instead, you must use NetApp Console to configure NetApp Backup and Recovery service and to create a SnapMirror relationship to a cloud destination.

Backup and Recovery supports FlexVol read-write volumes and data-protection (DP) volumes. Beginning with ONTAP 9.12.1, Backup and Recovery supports FlexGroup volumes and SnapLock volumes.

Before you begin

You should perform the following procedures to establish an account in the NetApp Console. For the service account, you need to create the role as "Account Admin".

  1. Create an account in NetApp Console.

  2. Create a Console agent in NetApp Console with one of the following cloud providers:

    • Microsoft Azure

    • Amazon Web Services (AWS)

    • Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

    • StorageGRID (ONTAP 9.10.1)

      Note Beginning with ONTAP 9.10.1, you can select StorageGRID as a cloud backup provider, but only if NetApp Console is deployed on premises. The Console agent must be installed on premises and available through the NetApp Console software-as-a-service (SaaS) application.

  3. Subscribe to NetApp Backup and Recovery in NetApp Console (requires the appropriate license).

  4. Generate an access key and a secret key using NetApp Console.

Use NetApp Console and NetApp Backup and Recovery to manage ONTAP backups

Beginning with ONTAP 9.19.1, System Manager no longer supports NetApp Backup and Recovery. See Manage backups for your ONTAP systems with NetApp Backup and Recovery for more information about using NetApp Backup and Recovery with NetApp Console.

Restore data from backup files

You can perform backup management operations, such as restoring data, updating relationships, and deleting relationships, only when using the NetApp Console. Refer to Restoring data from backup files for more information.
