The problem we are running into is the 255 snapshot limit on the secondary filer. Is there a way to rollup the hourly snapshots on the secondary filer to daily? We use snapvault to the secondary.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:45:45 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/Data-Protection/Snapvault-snapshot-rollup/m-p/3754#M3109 cferbrache 2025-06-05T06:45:45Z Snapvault snapshot rollup https://community.netapp.com/t5/Data-Protection/Snapvault-snapshot-rollup/m-p/3759#M3110 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>255 snaps is ontap limitation but what you can do is have hourly snaps just be on primary, so no snapvault.
