General Availability of Integration Backup for Flex Unified ONTAP-mode volumes

June 15, 2026

Google Cloud NetApp Volumes (GCNV) now supports Integrated backup for Flex Unified ONTAP-mode storage pools and volumes as a generally available feature. Flex Unified ONTAP-mode storage pools allow customers to manage resource with ONTAP APIs and CLI and enable the full suite of ONTAP data management. While ONTAP-mode storage pools have been generally available, they did not support native backup so far. With this launch, volumes in a Flex Unified ONTAP-mode pool can be protected with native manual and scheduled backups while enabling features like cross-region backups, immutable backups and selective file restores.

Additional details on NetApp Volumes can also be found in the product documentation.
