So is snapvaulting from an 8.1 7 Mode box to a 7.3x filer officially supported (assuming QSM)?

Hi Jeremy,

First of all a quick note: 7-Mode and Clustered ONTAP are completely different in this regard.
7-Mode SV is based upon Qtree SnapMirror, cDOT SV is based upon (cMode) Volume SM.

This way 7m SV is based upon a logical (namespace) replication, cDOT SV upon block-based replication.
Block-based replication has restrictions because the destination needs to understand the source format, hence needs to be on a 'higher-or-equal ONTAP release. Logical replication transfers 'files' and is therefore much more relaxed regarding ONTAP versions.

The definite 7m SV guide is TR-3487, which you can easily find on the support site, I guess...

cDOT SV is relatively new, but also has a lot of freely available information out already, although not a SV-specific TR as-far-as I'm aware. TR-4015 has some info, though.

Hope that helps

Sebastian

I do not see it in that document. I think the NOW site knows what I said
about it and is punishing me.

I think your best bet to find the most info about snapvault in one place  is
going to be the "Data Protection Online Backup and Recovery Guide - NetApp"
You can download the 400 page pdf at the Netapp Support site.

Is there a document out there that can tell me what the supported snapvault
configurations are? Like is 8 > 7 in 7 mode etc? I am getting different
answers depending on who I ask.
