Snapdiff road map

We are using SnapDiff for our NetApp NAS backups. the snapdiff got disabled after we upgraded our OnTap to 9.10. After talked to NetApp, we have to manually enabled it. But NetApp confirmed the SnapDiff is going to be discontinued on version 9.18.

Not sure why NetApp is doing this.  Any replacement feature for Snapdiff after 9.18?

 

We are using Rubrik CDM to back up our NAS data, some CIFS shares are really big and have multi million small files. Without the SnapDiff, the meta data scan is going to take a few hours to get the difference between two backups, it caused our NetApp slow down and user complains the access.

 

we are worrying about these backups after version 9.18 when we don't have the snapdiff anymore.

 

Appreciated if someone has same concerns and has any plan to fix the situation.

thanks,

Hi there! I'm going to guess the 9.18 was just a guess? We haven't started nailing features down yet for that as far as I know.

 

That said - have you looked at BlueXP Backup? https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/bluexp-backup-recovery/concept-cloud-backup-policies.html
