There is one possible exception... if you run "snap list -A" are there any recent aggregate snapshots?&nbsp; If there are, you could restore the aggregate or aggr copy the aggregate from that snapshot and see if the file is in the volume from the aggregate snapshot...that does require a full restore or full copy out of the containing aggregate though.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 31 Oct 2011 21:13:43 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/Network-and-Storage-Protocols/Recover-a-file-from-an-NFS-volume-WITHOUT-snapshot/m-p/66496#M6057 scottgelb 2011-10-31T21:13:43Z
