Snapshot is free. You can use it to do restores, but it's a
very manual process. Snapshot saved my butt
many times when I was a customer.
SnapRestore is a
licensed product that makes large and/or complex restores a simple
process. Unlike other vendors that "bolt on" features, all of NetApp's
features are built into the OS and only need to be licensed to turn
on.
Can someone please quickly explain to me how netapp licensing
work:
Do you need to buy SnapRestore license to have SnapShot
capabilities?
