You have a 2-node NetApp FAS500f system serving NAS and SAN protocols. The cluster is running NetApp ONTAP 9.8. You have a requirement to use SnapMirror to mirror your data to public cloud object storage.
In this scenario, which ONTAP native solution is supported?
The correct ONTAP native solution for using SnapMirror to mirror data to public cloud object storage is the Cloud Backup Service. Cloud Backup Service leverages ONTAP SnapMirror Cloud technology, allowing efficient and secure data protection by transferring data to object storage. It supports both NAS and SAN protocols, which aligns with the requirements of the 2-node NetApp FAS500f system.

Cloud Sync is for NAS only. Answer must be Cloud Backup Service.
NetApp Cloud Backup uses ONTAP SnapMirror Cloud technology. The first transfer will transfer of all the data stored within your volumes to object storage. Any subsequent backup will be incremental-forever and only transfer changed blocks, saving time and storage resources. Storage efficiencies in the primary storage are also preserved in the backup in object storage.
The BlueXP backup and recovery service (Cloud Backup) provides efficient, secure, and cost-effective data protection for NetApp ONTAP data, Kubernetes persistent volumes, databases, and virtual machines, both on premises and in the cloud.
