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
