marketing continuously claim that snap restore is instantaneous. yet I have yet to succeeded doing so. "snap restore" of files to a location quite a while and is "copying the files" nothing close to instantaneous. i would be happy to understand what i am missing. the following is a example of a virtual disk that was restored, it took quite a while to "restore"=copy this 80gb file.
snap restore -t file -s nightly.0 /vol/vmsata/vmfs1/lms-client/lms-clinet-flat.vmdk
