topic How to move volume data from one vol lang to another? in ONTAP Discussions https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/How-to-move-volume-data-from-one-vol-lang-to-another/m-p/104748#M21422 Hi,<BR /><BR />I would like to move data from a cifs volume with wrong language settings to new volume with correct language settings.<BR /><BR />If I use snap mirror or vol copy then both sides should have same language. Only option I see is - ndmpcopy or snap vault which works at file level.<BR /><BR />As per NetApp best practice, you should never change vol lang once data is written.<BR /><BR />Can someone please give some input here. Thanks!!
