we plan to migrate Netapp OnTap from on-premises to cloud, want to get some suggestion.

 

1, plan to backup data to Azure data box, then restore data from data box to Azure file service. How to move backup image from Azure data box to Azure blob for next restore job?

 

2, on-premises Netapp OnTap is about 10TB, will move them to Azure file service and run routine backup job. How to charge license for the migration and routine backup job?

 

3, After we restore data from Azure data box for Azure file service, how to sync. data between on-premise Netapp ontap and Azure file service?

 

4, how to backup Azure file service? mount CIFS on backup agent?

Hi @xiwen 

I am not sure the best practices per NetApp/Microsoft for migrating OnTap data to Azure File Services. But I can provide some suggestions from the Commvault side

  1. If you’re using the Azure Data box as the backup target for the data in question, it can be migrated to Azure Blob storage with the following steps - https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/expert/97276_migrating_data_to_microsoft_azure_using_azure_data_box.html
  2. I am not sure on the licensing part depending on your current license model, so you would likely need to engage your account manager to determine if you have adequate CloudApps licensing to cover the 10tb backup.
  3. This is a question for NetApp, I am not sure how this would be done.
  4. Follow the steps here to configure a backup for Azure File Server for Netapp https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/essential/116350_getting_started_with_backup_and_restore_operations_for_azure_netapp_file_services_smb_shares_and_nfs_shares.html

Let me know if this answers your question. Thanks
