Additional Information
- As with snapmirror, time to complete a full backup of a volume which has much of its data tiered out will take longer.
- The amount of time will depend on
- the amount of data that has been tiered,
- the interconnect between Ontap and the object store,
- as well as the sizing/performance of the object store itself.
- RPO calculations should factor this when planning NDMP for FabricPool
- When restoring data into a FabricPool
- all data will be placed in the performance tier.
- Ensure the performance tier has enough space before attempting a restore.
