Hi There, I am not sure i picked the correct Board, but here goes. We have a lot of older data on several windows CIFS that needs to be cleaned up , preferably deleted. Rather than just search the folder structure, we were wondering if we could use Netapps built in File Analytics Rest APIs to help us develop and use scripts. My problem is we don't have much in the way of in house expertise to create these . I am looking for some guidance on what i could share from your input here to a consultant who would know what do do with it. We are looking to get rid of data that hasn't been modified or accessed in 6 years. My thinking is a script could scan our cifs and give us a report and then give us a option to delete. Feel free to ask me questions on this request. thanks, Scott Is this doable?

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

I've been reading up on the new Dynamic Authorization feature in OnTAP 9.15.1 since we just upgraded to that version on one of our clusters. I'm interested if anyone has tried implement this feature and if it was a positive experience. In particular, I'm curious if there's a 'break glass' way to resolve an issue where multiple admins get locked out at the same time, and/or if the main admin account is exempt. https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/authentication/dynamic-authorization-overview.html
