use snapshot on another volume

VKALVEMULA — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:28:02 GMT

hi all

i have 2 volumes : testvol1 and testvol2

i created snapshot under testvol1 as testvol1_snapshot

is there any way to restore this current testvol1_snapshot onto testvol2.

i don't wanna do cloning or snapmirror between 1 and 2.

thanks in advance

If you intend to wipe out current testvol2 content - you can do "vol copy" using named snapshot. This will give you exact copy.
