6.2 adds the ability to do a single-file SnapRestore.
Emphasis on "single". I.e., no qtree or directory SnapRestore.
However, Snapshots are still done at a volume level.
Correct.
When snap restoring a file:
Does ONTAP link the snapshotted blocks back into the live filesystem or does it just copy the file from the snapshot creating a new file in the live filesystem? If the latter, I wonder why they even bothered adding this feature since it's always been easy to copy a shapshotted file to the live filesystem from a client. I guess snap restore might also restore inode data such as file owner, group, permissions, timestamps, etc.
