Hi! We use in our test infrastructure a NetApp shared fc storage and wonder how a backup strategie could look like. Full backups aren't the problem - trigger HV Snapshots including guest FS freeze / quiece, trigger NetApp Snapshot, delete HV Snapshots. Currently I'm struggeling on how to recover those Backups. I would provide the Snapshot volume to the hosts and import it as a new data domain, so the hosts have the snapshot disks as logical volumes. But how could I recover respectively move the content of the snapshot volumes onto the currently used vm "disk volumes"? If I have the proof of concept then scripting it to make this process more comfortable wouldn't be a problem. How do you do your backups with shared san? How can I provide incremental Backups? Thanks for any help!
