SnapDiff usage for Backup Applications

Sebastian_Koehler — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:08:54 GMT

Hello,

I was wondering if ONTAP REST API still has similar limitations to the SnapDiff Clause in the NMSDK EULA or if it can be used by any backup ISV to track deltas between two snapshots for backup purposes.

Hi there!

Per the KB at https://kb.netapp.com/Advice_and_Troubleshooting/Data_Protection_and_Security/SnapDiff/FAQ%3A_SnapDiff_Support_in_ONTAP - "SnapDiff v3 is only available to select licensed partners through REST API."

If you're interested in partnering with NetApp, please reach out to me via DM with your corporate contact details and I will have someone get in touch with you.

Hope this helps!
