Key Features
The key features of the Open Replication for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP are as follows:
-
If you use the vault/replica configuration, then you can use different retention rules on the vault/replica copy than on the primary snapshot copy.
-
If you use the mirror configuration, then the retention rules of the mirror copy will be the same of the primary snapshot copy.
-
You can use snapshots on the vault/replica copy or on the mirror copy for restore operations and backup copy operations.
-
Mirror and vault relationships, fan-out configuration and 3-node cascade configuration are supported.
Limitations
You cannot use the same SnapMirror or SnapVault relationship across storage policies or within the same storage policy in multiple copies.
