NetApp SnapVault Management Backup

The Block Backup window displays NetApp ONTAP primary storage nodes, NetApp OSSV agent nodes, and Catalogic DPX Block Data Protection nodes. Nodes supporting Block backup are displayed in a typical source tree structures.

Define a backup job as described in Chapter 10: Block Backup.

Tip. Due to technical limitations in the NetApp storage systems, keep your backup job names short. The job name becomes part of the qtree name on the NetApp storage systems. If a qtree name is too long, you may be prevented from seeing volumes on the secondary.

The first time a backup is run, the job creates the necessary relationship between the primary and secondary systems. You generally do not need to manage these relationships manually; DPX automatically removes relationships as you delete or modify backup jobs. In some cases, you may need to remove SnapVault relationships manually, such as for troubleshooting with Catalogic Software Data Protection Technical Support. For information about deleting a SnapVault relationship manually, read knowledge base article 40027.

For specific information and recommendations related to NetApp systems and the Catalogic DPX Block Data Protection, see the Deployment Guide and the Catalogic DPX Best Practices Guide in the Catalogic Knowledge Base.
