SnapDrive for Windows supports the NetApp Management Console data protection capability datasets through the SnapManager products.
the NetApp Management Console data protection capability makes it easy to manage very large SnapMirror and SnapVault deployments by grouping data and storage systems into datasets and resource pools, enabling automation of many routine data protection tasks. You can configure SnapDrive with a set of DataFabric Manager (DFM) credentials so that it can authenticate to a DFM server. This allows a SnapManager to use SnapDrive as a conduit to support the NetApp Management Console data protection capability retention policies and schedules.
To take advantage of these the NetApp Management Console data protection capability features through SnapDrive for Windows, you must have a DFM server with version 3.7 or later, and your storage systems must be running Data ONTAP 7.3 or later.
