From the cDOT SnapVault FAQ.. Create a FlexClone for a writable version. You can also split or move the volume (vol move will split it) for a standalone version of the vault volume.

"You cannot make the volume readable and writable. If you need disaster recovery capabilities,

use volume SnapMirror. However, it is possible to create a FlexClone® volume of the Snapshot™ copies

on the SnapVault destination to gain read and write access to the data."
