Full-spectrum backup for ONTAP
Now, there’s a simple, secure, and cost-effective integrated data protection service for NetApp® ONTAP® systems.

NetApp offers industry-leading backup and recovery solutions that ensure your data is always protected and accessible. With advanced technologies like Snapshot™ for near-instant backups and SnapMirror® for seamless replication, NetApp provides robust, scalable protection for both on-premises and hybrid cloud environments. Simplify data management, reduce costs, and secure your critical data with NetApp’s reliable and efficient backup solution.
Easily adopt the 3-2-1 backup strategy with local NetApp Snapshot™ copies, replications, and remote backup copies. Benefits include:
• Independent and reliable backup, with data stored in a read-only Snapshot copy hosted locally, on another ONTAP system, or separately from the ONTAP cluster
• No middleman: Back up directly from ONTAP to the desired destination without adding a point of failure
• 99.999999999% data durability, because the backup copy changes the data format to object storage

Never miss a backup window. Now, backup is 100 times faster than NDMP. Benefits include:
• Preservation of ONTAP storage efficiencies, including deduplication, compression, and compaction
• Incremental-forever backup: The full data set is created only once—no rebaseline needed
• Block-level replication updates only changed 4KB data blocks, not whole files
• Unlimited scale with object storage on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, ONTAP S3, or NetApp StorageGRID® object storage

A collection of intuitive wizards and dashboards let you implement and manage any variant of the 3-2-1 backup strategy. Now you can:
• Select volumes and define their backup policy and architecture
• Search and restore backups at a granular level, using an indexed catalog with all backup copies, including local Snapshot copies
• Audit your data estate and its backup status with comprehensive reports and dashboards


Create a secure backup of your mission-critical data. Now your data is:
• Protected end-to-end with AES 256-bit encryption at rest, TLS/HTTPS encryption in flight, and customer-managed key (CMK) support
• Stored in an immutable and indelible WORM (write once, ready many) state
• Air-gapped with multiregion, multicloud, and cross-account operability
• Locked and monitored, with users are alerted about any attempt to corrupt the data

Reduce footprint, maintaining native ONTAP efficiencies.

Save on hardware, storage, and effort using direct backup and restore. Backups reside in an object storage system that’s optimized for lower cost.
