Are you asking about Netapp in general or do you already use Netapp
storage and ask about SnapManager?
The advisability of using Netapp really depend on the specifics of
your storage requirements, but they are a good vendor and we are happy
with them.
About SnapManager, it is a nice tool and it does simplify
backup/recovery. However, you do not need it to take snapshots ("rsh
netapp-ip snap create volname snapname" will work just as well) and we
found snapmanager over priced, so we wrote our own snapshot/restore
system.
