# NetApp Backup Policy

A NetApp Backup Policy in Google Cloud defines automated backup schedules and retention rules for Cloud Volumes ONTAP or Cloud Volumes Service. It ensures data protection by managing when and how backups are created, stored, and deleted. This policy helps maintain compliance, supports disaster recovery, and simplifies backup management across NetApp storage environments in GCP.
