Data Mobility
NetApp Copy and Sync
NetApp Copy and Sync simplifies the transfer of large datasets across a wide range of storage types, eliminating the complexities and costs that are associated with traditional copying and syncing processes.
Data is in a constant state of motion. From archiving data to supporting cloud-first, hybrid, or Gen AI initiatives, this surge in data mobility and the transfer of large data sets has intensified the challenges storage administrators must address, such as:
- How quickly and efficiently can data be transferred?
- Will reformatting or restructuring be necessary?
- What measures are in place to protect data during transfer?
- How is data kept up to date after the initial copy?

Unified and intelligent data solution
With its comprehensive and secure data transfer capabilities across various protocols, NetApp Copy and Sync eliminates the need to juggle between different requirements and consoles, providing a single unified and intelligent data solution.
How NetApp Copy and Sync works
Automated copying and synchronization
Copy and Sync automates the copying and synchronization of your data to a designated target through the completion of a few steps in the console. From the NetApp Console, simply drag the source to your designated target to create a sync relationship. Next, following the guided steps, you set up a data broker, identify source directories and target volumes, set your synchronization and notification schedule, and that's it.
Continuous synchronization
When your initial dataset has been copied to the target, Copy and Sync synchronizes future data changes to the target according to the timetable that you set.
