This course was designed to teach the core technologies of ONTAP 9.0 Data protection. You will learn how to implement and manage SnapMirror, SnapVault, SnapLock, SMV DR and NDMP technologies which are used to replicate and restore mission-critical data in the enterprise. The course also surveys real-world scenarios and use cases to teach you when to use each of the NetApp protection solutions. Backup and restore operations are taught using the command line and OnCommand System Manager. This course also provides an overview of the ONTAP 9.0 MetroCluster HA and disaster recovery software solution.
