Module Objectives
By the end of this module, you should be able to: List the methods available to backup and recover data Use ndmpcopy to process full and incremental backups Discuss dump and restore Describe, enable, and configure NDMP on a storage system
SnapRestore
Back up to Local Storage
- Recover single file, volume, or aggregate
SnapRestore reverts a file system back to any specified Snapshot copy or restores single file from a Snapshot copy Fast online restores of files and volumes Multiple recovery points Easy recovery process based on a single command input Requires the snaprestore license code Use SnapRestore to recover from data corruption or to revert a file system

SNAP1 MYFILE
MyFILE is made of disk blocks A, B, and C The active file system (AFS) is captured in Snapshot copy SNAP1 SNAP1 points to blocks A, B, and C and does not use additional disk space

SNAP1 MYFILE
During testing, let us say you want to revert back to MYFILE You could:
Revert back by copying the data from the Snapshot directory or Use SnapRestore technology

Reverting a File
1. Verify that the volume is online and writable 2. List the Snapshot copies in the volume:
snap list /vol/vol_name
3. Notify network users 4. Initiate the reversion: snap restore -t file -s snapshot_name path_and_file 5. Use the r option to revert a file to a different location
snap restore -t file -s snapshot_name r new_path_&_file old_path_&_file
For more information about SnapRestore with volume and aggregate reverts, see the NetApp Protection Software Administration course
Snapshot Copies
Back up to Local Storage
- Recover files
Administrators may back up and recover files quickly - almost instantaneously - with Snapshot copies NOTE: Snapshot copies do not replace standard backups to another media location See Module 11 for more information about Snapshot copies backup and recovery methods

Data Center
ndmpcopy Command
Back up to Local/Remote Storage
- Recover files
The ndmpcopy command: Used to transfer data between storage systems that support NDMP v3 or v4
system> ndmpd on
Data Center
Can carry out full and incremental transfers Limits incremental transfers to a maximum of two levels (one full and up to two incremental) Applies NetApp to NetApp only Syntax: system> ndmpcopy [options] source_host:source_path destination_host:destination_path

SnapVault
Back up to Remote Storage
- Recover qtrees, directories, or files
SnapVault is the NetApp embedded disk-to-disk backup and archival software Administrators may back up and recover: Qtrees Directories on nonNetApp storage

NDMP
Back up with Third-Party Tools
- Recover qtrees, directories, or files
NDMP is an open standard that allows backup applications to control native backup and recovery functions on NetApp storage systems and other NDMP servers NDMP-compliant backup applications interact with the ndmpd process on the storage system NDMP requests from backup applications prompt the storage system to invoke native dump and restore commands to initiate backups and restores
