Hi,
I need to design a solution where production site is running on NetApp CVO and hosting only CIFS and NFS shares and replicating to DR site. Currently the data is not immutable. Following options were suggested to make data immutable:
1. Configure a backup solution at production site, backup the data on AWS S3 bucket and replicate to DR.
2. Configure an immutable S3 bucket at production, dump data there and replicate to DR.
3. Configure NetApp cloud backup to make data immutable.
In all the above cases, we have challenges to restore data at DR site once it is replicated. Data replicated using backup solution can be read only by the same backup solution, so how can it be restored on DR NetApp CVO?
If client configures immutable S3 bucket and replicates, how can that data be restored from DR site S3 to NetApp CVO?
Is there any way to replicated immutable CIFS and NFS data on AWS S3 using NetApp CVO and restore at the DR site?
