Protecting NetApp ONTAP Volumes with BlueXP Backup and Recovery to Azure

Author(s) Venkata Raman Immidisetti
Country United States
Abstract Organizations increasingly rely on hybrid cloud infrastructures, making unified data protection essential for both on-premises and cloud environments. This paper presents a technical overview of protecting NetApp ONTAP volumes using BlueXP Backup and Recovery with Microsoft Azure as the exclusive backup target. We describe an architecture that integrates on-premises ONTAP systems and cloud-native ONTAP (Cloud Volumes ONTAP) under a single backup framework, leveraging Azure Blob Storage for reliable off-site backups. The solution utilizes NetApp snapshot technology and incremental replication to Azure, preserving storage efficiencies and enabling high-performance, secure backups without disrupting production workloads. We detail how the system architecture functions in hybrid and cloud-native deployments, explain the backup and restore workflows, and discuss design considerations such as network connectivity and data immutability. By focusing on Azure as the backup destination, this paper demonstrates a cohesive approach to safeguarding data across hybrid cloud environments while adhering to the 3-2-1 backup strategy. The result is a cost-effective, highly scalable, and resilient data protection solution for enterprise storage volumes, with rapid recovery capabilities and seamless management through the BlueXP unified control plane.
