These are perfect examples for using SnapRestore. If you haven't used it before, you need a license, make sure host data is flushed to controller before taking the volume snapshots.

Thanks,

High level info about SnapRestore is here: http://www.netapp.com/us/products/protection-software/snaprestore.html.

Example # 1Multiple SnapShots have been taken of a volume containing File Share data. It becomes corrupted and needs to be restored to one of the previous hourly SnapShot copies.

Example # 2 daily SnapShots taken of a test SQL DB (cold). It is a baseline copy. Testing has concluded and the user wants to revert it back to its original state.
