I have used NetApp backup and recovery for several years. I like using the Snapshot/SnapMirror technology. It is very reliable and I quit using tapes because I used SnapMirror between two datacenters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is not much reporting associated with the built-in snapshot technology.
NetApp protection manager is too difficult to try to use. But it is still not as bad as SnapProtect.
If we were talking about SnapProtect, I would say that I don't like any of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Remote sites can be administered remotely with ease and automatically. The efficiency of SnapVault, enables utilization of low bandwidth connections. Use of the VSC makes the protection of a virtual environment an easier task. The integration of the SnapManager products with VSC give a consistent portal when used with Operations Manager.

You have to ensure that retention schedules are followed and be able to troubleshoot from the bottom up. System manager helps with this task, but it takes discipline and routine to follow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
These are NetApp Sweet tools. Replicating data from one NetApp filer to another filer or from one NetApp Cluster to another using their snapshot technology is how NetApp does it backup. Replicating data using snapmirror to a dr site as a solution for disaster recovery. Using snapvault to backup a volume to secondary filer with denser, cheaper disks to keep the data for a longer retention requirements is easy and fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The tools does what they are designed to do and it's working great. It would be nice if data replication between 7-mode to cluster is as simple as going from 7-mode to 7-mode. For example of replicate a volume from one filer to another using a particular snapshot, and then perform a volume restored base on a snapshot on the destination filer.

No problems as of yet. Service and support have been exceptional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The B/R applications are very intuitive. NetApp has hooks into the application it is backing up so that you not only get the efficiency of snapshots on the backend storage but the application can truncate logs because it is application aware. Snapmirror replications makes DR possible and easy to setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
