NetApp® BlueXP™ backup and recovery for applications is software as a service (SaaS) that delivers seamless, cost-effective data protection and copy management for enterprise workloads running in hybrid multicloud environments.
There are two options available within BlueXP backup and recovery for Applications:
- Hybrid. This option enables customers of NetApp SnapCenter® to put an off-site copy of their databases on a local or remote cloud object or archival storage. The local off-site copy can be maintained in NetApp StorageGRID® object storage, and the remote copies can be maintained in cloud object or archival storage such as Amazon S3, Amazon Glacier, Azure Blob, Azure Archive Storage and Google Cloud object Storage.
- Cloud native. This option is for backing up and restoring databases hosted on cloud-native storage like Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, Azure NetApp Files, and NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP® software (for AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud).
As of April 2023, the following applications and cloud storage are supported:
