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.

appropriate license for the specific data types

FlexClone licenses (on all arrays).
HTTP/HTTPS licenses on the destination NetApp file server to allow communication
The NetApp Snap Management license:
o iSCSI Initiator must be configured on the client and proxy computers to access the snapshot
device

o SnapVault License for backup and recovery operations (NetApp 8.2 onwards)
4 SNAPPROTECT OPEN SYSTEMS

The SnapProtect for Open Systems replication will happen in the context of SnapProtect backup. To carry out
the replication transfer, you should run or schedule the replication workflow from the storage policy to which
all the clients that need to be protected are associated. The workflow will in turn start of individual
SnapProtect backup jobs for each of the associated subclients. Each SnapProtect backup job for a subclient
does the following:
Creates a software snapshot of the source data using the native Snap engine such as VSS or
QSnap/LVM.
The volume is added to the OnCommand Unified Manager dataset that corresponds to the primary
snap copy of storage policy to which the subclient is associated.
The OnCommand Unified Manager carries out any provisioning tasks and requests the destination
filer to connect back to the client SnapProtect for Open SystemsTransfer/SnapProtect for Open
SystemsTest process.
If the volume has never been protected before, then the SnapProtect for Open Systems agent will
perform a baseline transfer, i.e., transfer all blocks for the volume to the destination filer.
If the volume has been protected before, then the SnapProtect for Open Systems agent will figure
out all the blocks that have changed for the volume since the last backup, using SHA-1 checksum
mechanism and a checksum database and transfer only the changed blocks to the destination file
server. For a given volume, all backups, except the first, are incremental.
When the SnapProtect for Open Systems transfer to all the associated subclients is complete, a destination
snapshot is taken on the destination vault copy and this snap is registered as the primary copy of data for that
application against the primary snap copy. The software snap that was created at the start of the SnapProtect
backup job is deleted once the SnapProtect for Open Systems transfer for source snapshot is successful.
