The protection policies provided by the NetApp Management Console data protection capability enable you to select a combination of three types of data protection: local backup, remote backup, and mirror copy.

Local backup protection
Local backup protection (also referred to as Snapshot copy protection) is the periodic capture of active data on a NetApp storage system in backup images and the storage of those images on that same system.
Remote backup protection
Remote backup protection is the periodic capture and copying of active data from a source storage system to a remote secondary or tertiary storage system.
Mirror protection
Mirror protection is the periodic exact mirroring of all volume data (both active and protected) from a source storage system to a destination storage system.
