Hi, as snapmirror/vault is now working with altavault I'm interested how a restore may looks like for cifs volumes.
Can I somehow view recent snapshot versions just like on my primary NetApp and extract a single file that way?

Or am I required to use a separate backup software?

Thanks

Hi,

You would use ONTAP CLI to issue a restore of a single file from the volume (a SFR or single file restore operation).

Syntax is documented in the ONTAP documentation but would look something like:

snapmirror restore -source-path <ava share> -destination-path VSname:volname -file-list -source-snapshot snapname

Refer to ONTAP documentation for details:

http://docs.netapp.com/ontap-9/topic/com.netapp.doc.dot-cm-cmpr-910/snapmirror__restore.html

Regards,

Christopher
