Explore key concepts and techniques for protecting data on NetApp® ONTAP® based storage systems. Learn about the data protection solutions that are integrated in ONTAP software and examine the tools to manage ONTAP data protection features. In the hands-on exercises, use NetApp ONTAP System Manager and the ONTAP CLI to perform key data protection tasks. This course is updated for ONTAP 9.16.1 software.

This course focuses on enabling you to do the following:

• Describe and distinguish the data protection features in ONTAP software
• Administer the appropriate ONTAP data protection feature to address your data protection concern
• Configure NetApp SnapMirror® relationships for disaster recovery and data backup
• Demonstrate storage VM disaster recovery (SVM DR)
• Illustrate NDMP-enabled operations to back up NAS data to tape
• Integrate the cloud-based data protection solutions that complement your ONTAP based storage systems
• Structure NetApp MetroCluster components and functionality
• Illustrate SnapMirror active sync components and functionality
