We are setting up NetApp AFF300 in our data center and DR site. I heard we can use snapcenter and snapvault to eliminate the backup of NDMP for cifs shares use snapshot and snapvault combination replece backup solution for Exchange, MS SQL and VMWare. Can anyone please share your experience. thanks in advance.
We are backing up a few hundred TB data from Exchange, MS SQL, VMWare and CIFS shares. their backups and restores cost us a lot of time, effects and money, if snapshot for short term and snapvault for long term can become our data protection solutions. then NetApp will make a huge change.
is that really true we can restore Exchange emails/inboxes, SQL databases and VMWare VMs from snapshots? on EMC VNX, data recover from snapshots did help us a lot.
looking forward to hearing from you....
