we are currently using Rubrik CDM and snapdiff for NAS backups. according to NetApp, the snapdiff will not be supported after version 8.17. Rubrik is pushing us to a different backup solution of NAS cloud direct for NAS backups, but this is a duplicated investment and a lot of data movement. does anyone have more details about NetApp snapdiff support?   looks if we lost snapdiff, the NAS backup on Rubrik CDM will still work, but on some shares which have multi millions files, the indexing and metascan will take hours to complete, it is causing user access issue to the shares.   Please share the information or workaround if you have. thanks in advance  ...

Hello everyone,           there is a  FAS2720 with a external disk shelf DS212C,  and the disks inside the controller is partitioned, but the disks in external disk shelf is non-partitioned. all of 12 disks in external disk shelf is used to create a data aggr, no spare disk is reserved(Ontap  generates "Spares_Low" Error, because there are only partitioned spares, no whole spare disk) . There are many data in the data aggr, and it's not possible to delete aggr and then recreate.  I wonder whether auto-partition of internal disks  can be disabled, that is,  after assigned, the internal spare is still non-partitioned. if this is the case, whether can the data aggr that is comprised of the external disks share the spare disk in the internal controller chassis?   Thanks in advance ...
