Means if Operator likes to restore from old Snapshots like sv_hourly... they are not shown. Why this is not working? For customer this would not be acceptable. Why import external relationship is not importing all ? Any solution?

Hi,

AFAIK Protection Manager will manage the snapshots which created by Protection manager. For restoring snapshots not taken by PM, you need to use filer commands.
