NetApp E-Series array

NetBackup provides a robust data protection solution for volumes that are set up on a Storage Area Network (SAN) storage host. NetBackup extends SAN support to let you protect mounted iSCSI/FC volumes that are hosted on the NetApp E-series environment.

NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center plug-in for NetApp E-series has the functional logic that enables NetBackup to discover the SAN volumes on the arrays. Then it initiates snapshot create, export, deport, and delete operations for the volumes. You must configure this plug-in on the NetBackup primary server to discover the volumes, perform backups, and restore operations.

NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center uses NetApp-provided WSAPIs to communicate with the assets.
