You may have heard the phrase…

“Snapshots are not a substitute for backup.”

I agree. Snapshots are a point-in-time, recoverable image of your data. Snapshots are a very useful tool for data protection and recoverability, but they alone are not a complete data protection solution. You also need backup…

Azure NetApp Files backup, combined with snapshots and cross-region/zone replication, gives you a complete, cost-effective, and flexible data protection solution without the need for any 3rd party products. Everything is built-in to the #Azure portal and ready to go. Check out the video below for a quick (3 minute) overview of Azure NetApp Files backup. #netapp #microsoft #data #backup
