Explore an overview of data protection technologies used in NetApp production, including third-party management solutions and the prerequisites for deploying these technologies.

Explore NetApp data protection technologies, including snapshot copies and snap mirror, to enable fast backups, rapid restores, and meet RTO and RPO objectives.

Learn to describe data on depth snapshot copy technology, record data from snapshot copies, manage snapshot copies, and create unmanaged snapshot copy policies.

Understand snapshot copy technology as a read-only, space-efficient point-in-time image of data for backup and recovery, and learn to manage counts up to 255 copies within data protection relationships.

Create, modify, rename, and view volume snapshots in this lab exercise using volume snapshot commands to illustrate snapshot copy technology in NetApp data protection.

Restore aggregates, volumes, or files from snapshot copies using the snap restore feature, while meeting license requirements and advanced privileges, keeping i/o off during restore, and updating relationships afterward.

Explore restoring data from snapshot copies in NetApp Ontap 9.3, performing volume and file level restores, and using previous versions to recover deleted files across lab scenarios.

Learn to manage snapshot copies, including automatic snapshot copy deletion policies and preserving snapshots, and monitor storage space used by snapshot copies as data changes.

Learn to manage snapshot copies in NetApp ONTAP 9.3: list, inspect space, reclaim capacity, delete snapshots (including busy snapshots), and configure auto delete policies.

Automate snapshot copies using snapshot copy policies that specify frequency and maximum copies, with default snapshot copy policies or customized policies for SVMs and flexible volumes and their retention rules.

Learn to create and manage snapshot copy policies for NetApp storage, including creating cron-based policies, assigning them to volumes and SVMs, and inheriting policies for automatic retention.

Snap mirror technology enables asynchronous volume-level replication for data protection, disaster recovery, and data migration across cluster volumes and SVMs.

Configure and verify a snap mirror relationship in a lab, including license checks and creating source and destination SVMs. Initialize, monitor, and baseline data protection snap mirror to replicate data.

Practice snapmirror failover and resync for disaster recovery in a lab exercise, breaking and reestablishing relations, testing write access on the destination, and performing failback to restore production.

Create and monitor SnapMirror relationships, use Replication Manager software to recover data, and manage SnapMirror configurations for clustered ONTAP data protection.

Learn to implement SnapVault data protection by creating snap relationships between primary and secondary SVMs, applying snapshot policies with retention rules, and planning baseline transfers using the CLI.

Implement snapvault by configuring snap mirror between primary and secondary clusters, validating licenses and language settings, using a dp type, and applying a snapshot copy policy with snap labels.

Restore data with SnapVault by copying a specified snapshot from a secondary volume to a target volume, preserving earlier snapshots and requiring shutdown of applications during restore.

Learn how to recover lost files using snap vault relationships, perform a snap mirror restore from the secondary to a volume, and mount the restored data for Windows NTFS shares.
