How to backup when there is no tave available?
For this particular server which I am still building it, I will have all its file systems on a NetApp, and it will host a oracle database. A full backup of the database will be required at the end of each month, but I am not sure about the end of the week.

netapp::snapshot
NetApp::Snapshot(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation NetApp::Snapshot(3pm)
NAME
NetApp::Snapshot -- OO class for creating and managing snapshots
SYNOPSIS
use NetApp::Filer;
use NetApp::Snapshot;
my $filer = NetApp::Filer->new( .... );
DESCRIPTION
This class encapsulates a single NetApp snapshot, and provides methods for querying information about the snapshot, as well as methods for
managing it.
METHODS
get_parent
Returns the NetApp::Aggregate or NetApp::Volume object for the aggregate or volume for which object is a snapshot.
get_name
Returns a string representing the name of the snapshot.
get_date
Returns the date the snapshot was created.
get_used
Returns the percentage of space used by snapshot.
get_total
Returns the percentage of total space used by the snapshot.
get_snapshot_deltas
Returns an array of NetApp::Snapshot:Delta objects, each representing a single delta for this snapshot.
get_reclaimable
Returns the amount of reclaimable space, if the snapshot is deleted. Note that experimentally, this command has a lot of failure
scenarios, most of which are reasonable (there are a lot of cases where you can't query this data). Therefore, unlike most of the methods
in this API, it doesn't raise a fatal exception if it can't query the information, it simply generates warnings.
rename( $newname )
Renames the snapshot to the specified name.
restore( %args )
This method is an interface to the "snap restore" command. The argument syntax is:
$snapshot->restore(
type => 'vol' | 'file', # Defaults to vol
from_path => $from_path,
to_path => $to_path,
);
The 'type' argument maps to the -t CLI argument, and the 'to_path' argument maps to the -r CLI argument. Refer to the na_snap(1) man page,
and the "snap restore" documentation for further information.
