Hi, we are looking at setting up a backup solution using Commvault. &nbsp;The idea is to Snapvault our volumes from our local filers to a remote site then use Commvault to backup that Snapvaulted data. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Couple of questions... <br />
<br />
I understand I need an NDMP license to use Commvault with Snapvault. &nbsp;Is this a license I need to buy for Commvault or is the NDMP license something I need to buy from Netapp and install on my filer?<br />
<br />
When I restore is it down to the volume or the file level e.g. can I restore an indvidual VM file or would I need to restore the entire volume?<br />
<br />
Can I restore directly to my local filer or is the restore done to the remote filer where the data has been snapvaulted to?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
