Where is it documented? I checked 8.2.2 7-mode and it still describes what looks like traditional file copy (including out if space considerations and background operation). And it is exactly opposite to "immediately available" :)
File clone requires FlexClone license, that for sure.

Hi Markus What version of ONTAP is this? In 8.1, we changed single file SnapRestore to use SIS clone as the underlying engine to revert the object – way faster, and makes the object immediately available as it does the clone in the background. I don’t remember if it requires a FlexClone license or just SnapRestore. Which of those licenses do you have?

Hello,
i played a bit with VMware + NetApp VSC Backup/Restore and was very surprised by the bad performance of SnapRestore on a NFS Storage.
It took SnapRestore 24 hours to restore a 1TB vmdk! Looking at the filer usage (sysstat) it looked like the filer just copied the files out of the Snapshot into the live filesystem with terrible slow 12MB/s. I always thought that SnapRestore restores in a few seconds because if just copies the pointers and not the data itself.
I tried the same again (copying out of the Snapshot), this time with ndmpcopy and got ~350GB/h, which is around 100MB/s and an expected result
Currently we don't own the SnapManager License for VSC - maybe thats the problem? A short test using the cmdline wasn't faster...
Best Regards,
Markus Schlegel
