1 ABSTRACT
SnapProtect for Open Systems is a block level incremental replication capability. It replicates
data from UNIX and Windows clients with source volumes carved out of disks that are locally
attached to these clients from non-Netapp hardware arrays. This data is replicated to a Data
ONTAP 7-Mode SnapVault destination as a single partition. It uses OnCommand Unified
Manager to provision the destination volumes to which data is replicated. Data is replicated as
GPT LUN on Windows. On Unix, LUN has the same format as the source volume LUN.
SnapProtect for Open Systems (SPOS) adds support for granular recovery from Data ONTAP 7Mode SnapVault targets with application-consistent backups, file catalog, granular recovery and
path-to-tape for select operating systems and applications.
Supported (non-clustered) operating systems and applications:
Windows, Linux and Solaris file systems
Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle
This document can be used as a basic guide during SPOS POC engagements in order to
showcase Windows and Linux file system backup/recovery. It can also be used to assist in the
setup and configuration of the product. The steps in this guide are mostly geared toward POC lab
and test work. It has not been created as a guide for production installations.
