help NetApp SnapCenter FAQ

Is NetApp SnapCenter a storage replication product?

SnapCenter is primarily a centralized backup, restore, and clone management platform for ONTAP environments. It can coordinate protection workflows that use NetApp SnapMirror and SnapVault, but SnapMirror performs the underlying replication.

Which workloads can SnapCenter protect?

SnapCenter uses plug-ins to create application-consistent protection for workloads such as Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, SAP HANA, VMware vSphere, and host file systems. Support depends on the installed SnapCenter plug-in and storage configuration.

Can SnapCenter create database clones for testing?

Yes. SnapCenter uses NetApp FlexClone technology to create space-efficient copies that can support development and testing without duplicating an entire production dataset.

What is the difference between SnapCenter and NetApp Disaster Recovery?

SnapCenter concentrates on application-consistent backups, granular restores, clones, and related policies. NetApp's broader disaster-recovery services orchestrate failover and failback, often using SnapMirror relationships between primary and secondary ONTAP storage.
