Which NetApp storage solution is used to enable SnapMirror migrations to the cloud?

• A. Cloud Volumes ONTAP
• B. Cloud Volumes Service
• C. BlueXP backup and recovery
• D. Azure NetApp Files

Answer: (A)

SnapMirror migrations to the cloud are enabled by Cloud Volumes ONTAP because SnapMirror is built into ONTAP, and the cloud-based ONTAP instance serves as the destination for the replication. Cloud Volumes ONTAP runs in the cloud (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) and acts as the target for a SnapMirror relationship, allowing an initial full copy followed by incremental updates and a seamless cutover to the cloud once the data is migrated. The other options describe different cloud storage or management services that don’t provide the SnapMirror migration pathway: Cloud Volumes Service is a managed storage service without the ONTAP replication feature; BlueXP backup and recovery handles backups and DR orchestration rather than SnapMirror migrations; Azure NetApp Files is a cloud storage service in Azure, not the SnapMirror-based migration destination.
