File Shares and Object Storage • Re: NAS Backup from Netapp Secondary

Hi all,

there is a Regkey which resolves this issue.
If the volume to backup is a DP Volume - that's important because it only works for read-only DP volumes - then you can use this RegKey.


NASFailoverToDirectBackup
Type: REG_DWORD
Default value: 0 (disabled)
Description: This Regkey forces NAS Backup to backup direct from NetApp Share instead of NetApp Storage Snapshot. This is usefull for secondary SnapMirror Targets that doesn't allow a storage snapshot.

Without RegKey



With RegKey set



@VeeamPM: Maybe this could be automatic if Veeam detects the Volume Type DP, because this volumes are Read-Only by default.
