This intermediate-level course introduces key concepts and techniques for protecting data on NetApp® ONTAP® based storage systems. You learn about the data protection solutions that are integrated in ONTAP software. You also learn about tools to manage 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 9.11.1 software.Become proficient with NetApp ONTAP SnapMirror, SnapVault, SVM DR, SyncMirror, and NDMP technologies used to replicate, restore, and protect mission-critical data in the enterprise. Backup and restore operations are taught using the NetApp storage system CLI and the OnCommand System Manager.

The course also provides an overview of the ONTAP MetroCluster high-availability and disaster recovery software solution.

• Describe and distinguish the data protection features in ONTAP software
• Administer the appropriate ONTAP data protection feature to address your data protection concern
