Hello, I am new to NetApp and currently I am trying to create a snapshot schedule. Reading some docs, it says that the auto delete will be triggered if it reach the snapshot reserve (trigger is in snap_reserve). However, I can always find there is Snapshot Overflow. And therefore, I wonder will the auto delete be triggered if the number of copies not reaching its maximum. For examples, if a volume is set a daily snapshot with 5 maximum copies, will it auto delete if the size of snapshot is more that snapshot reserve on the third day?

Where can you find the housekeeping tasks in SnapCenter version 5 & 6 (on Windows). Several KB articles refers to Windows Tasks Scheduler, but that seems to a long time ago.

Example of a housekeeping task: SnapCenter_RemoveSecondaryBackup

Good afternoon. There are remote NetApp devices that are not part of a cluster. Is it possible to implement copying snapshots from a NetApp appliance that is not part of a cluster to a NetApp cluster using SnapVault or SnapMirror. The model of the devices in the cluster is FAS8300. Maybe there are some other options(tools) to realize this task.

Hello All, Please a client has Snapmirror configured between Production and DR. Three of the relationships have failed with the following error: "the number of snapshot copies on destination volume has reached maximum supported count of 1019". Everytime the relationship needs to update as per policy which is HOURLY, it creates a Snapshot on those 3 DR Volumes which causes it to get filled up and eventually cause the relationship to Fail to an Unhealthy state. Please how can these be rectified?
