ONTAP 9.3: Data Protection Administration
The ONTAP 9.3: Data Protection Administration course is a professional, hands-on program designed to equip participants with the skills required to design, configure, manage, and monitor data protection solutions using NetApp ONTAP 9.3. ONTAP is developed by NetApp and is widely used in enterprise environments for high availability, data protection, backup, replication, and disaster recovery. ONTAP 9.3 provides robust data protection technologies such as Snapshot copies, SnapMirror, SnapVault, and replication policies to ensure data availability and business continuity. This course focuses on practical administration of ONTAP data protection features, enabling storage administrators to protect critical data, implement efficient backup and replication strategies, and support recovery operations across on-premises and hybrid environments. Course Objectives By the end of this course, participants will be able to: Understand ONTAP 9.3 data protection architecture and concepts Configure and manage Snapshot-based data protection Implement SnapMirror replication for disaster recovery Configure SnapVault for backup and archival use cases Manage replication relationships and policies Monitor and troubleshoot data protection operations Apply data protection best practices in enterprise environments
