Deciding whether to use the Volume Restore Using SnapVault Express Guide
This guide describes how to quickly restore a volume from a SnapVault backup in ONTAP when there is a data loss.
You should use this guide if you want to restore from the SnapVault backup in the following way:
You are working with clusters running Lenovo Data ONTAP 9.4 or later.
You are a cluster administrator.
You have configured the SnapVault relationship following the procedure described in the Volume Backup Using SnapVault Preparation Express Guide.
You do not want to perform a single file or LUN restore.
- You want to use best practices, not explore every available option.
- You do not want to read a lot of conceptual background.
- You want to use ThinkSystem™ Storage Manager for DM Series, not the ONTAP command-line interface or an automated scripting tool.
