Hi,

SnapVault and SnapMirror have the ability to replicate qtrees. However, SnapRestore does not restore single qtrees or directories, only volumes or individual files. With the release of Data ONTAP 7.0, SnapRestore can be used with flexible volumes. This allows for the provisioning of small virtual volumes out of a larger aggregate or larger physical volume.

If you want to restore a file, you can use the below command.

snap restore –s snapshot_name –t file /vol/vol1/users/jim/myfile

If you want to restore a volume, you can use the below command.

snap restore –s snapshot_name –t vol /vol/vol1

For qtree restore, you need to use snapmirror. It is not possible by using snap restore.

Thanks, Sithesvaran.

does anybody know if there is a way to use snaprestore to recover a qtree out of a snapshot without doing so much manual work??

We are currently in a need for this. Would be great if snaprestore can do the work for me :-)

Best regards

Jochen

Which netapp manages to to w/o having major kernel bloat, that just amazes the heck out of me.
