Hi, the 3-2-1 data protection from this product is related to a backup strategy with the same name. I'm assuming you don't know about it so I'll tell you in a few words. In its essence, this backup strategy means this: 3 copies of the data, on 2 different media types, and 1 of the backup copies is stored off-site. Essentially this is done to ensure maximum protection of your data, backed by the fact that one of the copies is in a different location from the first two so in case something happens to either location, you've got the second as your backup for your backup.
This protection by NetApp Cloud Backup works to ensure that users can benefit from the most popular backup strategy with the same name. How NetApp Cloud Backup does that is first by its pure existence - an additional source for your data outside the ONTAP (number three of the strategy). Then it acts as a change of data format, being number two. And lastly, because it provides the option to store data offsite, it acts out the number one. This modernizes the 3-2-1 strategy which was originally created before cloud storage was even a thing, and adapts it specifically for ONTAP.
Data backup involves copying and moving data from its primary location to a secondary location from which it can later be retrieved in case the primary data storage location experiences some kind of failure or disaster.
