Solution overview
Fully Integrated Backup and Restore Service
NetApp BlueXP Backup and Recovery is an add-on service for Cloud Volumes ONTAP that protects and archives your data to low-cost object storage. Managed by NetApp BlueXP, Backup and Recovery provides additional resiliency and flexibility by creating a copy of volume data on object storage that can be restored to an alternate Cloud Volumes ONTAP working environment in the region or back to an on-premises ONTAP storage system. After the initial backup, all additional backups are incremental so that only changed blocks are transferred and backed up.
Features
- Back up independent copies of your data volumes to low-cost object storage.
- Back up from cloud to cloud, and from on-premises ONTAP systems to public or private cloud.
- Backup data is secured with AES-256 bit encryption at rest and TLS 1.2 HTTPS connections in-flight.
- Support for up to 4,000 backups of a single volume.
- Backups can be stored in the same or different region as your Cloud Volumes ONTAP system.
- Restore data from a specific point in time.
- Restore a volume or individual files to the source system or to a different system.
- Browsable file catalog for single file restore.
