This course focuses on enabling you to do the following:

• Describe and distinguish the data protection features in NetApp ONTAP software
• Administer the correct ONTAP data protection feature to address your concern
• Configure SnapMirror relationships for disaster recovery and data backup
• Demonstrate SVM DR
• Describe NDMP-enabled operations to back up NAS data to tape
• Describe the cloud-based data protection solutions that complement your ONTAP based systems
• Describe MetroCluster components and functionality
• Describe SnapMirror Business Continuity components and functionality

This intermediate-level course introduces key concepts and techniques for protecting data on NetApp® ONTAP® based systems. You learn about the data protection solutions that are integrated in ONTAP software. You also learn about tools for managing ONTAP data protection features. In the hands-on exercises, you use ONTAP System Manager and the ONTAP CLI to perform key data protection tasks. This course is updated for ONTAP 9.12 software.
