snap restore question

[SUMESHADIYAPURATH]

Team

I am experimenting with snap restore. for example,

1. Created a file under /vol/vol_1/ called sumesh.txt
2. took snapshot
3. deleted file
4. tried to do a restore with snap restore and it was successful

Secondly

1. created a folder under /vol/vol_1 called test
2. created  file in test
3. deleted the file
4. tried to do a restore with snap restore as snap restore -t file /vol/vol_1/test/filename.txt

       Selected the snapshot

       Then it comes with the following Error

File does not exist in snapshot

Can't we restore  a file from snapshot ? please advise

Have you taken a new snapshot or using the same old one

Yes. I have taken Sorry. I forgot to include  that , the steps are as follows

1. created a folder under /vol/vol_1 called test
2. created  file in test
3. Take a snaphot
4. deleted the file
5. tried to do a restore with snap restore as snap restore -t file /vol/vol_1/test/filename.txt

       Selected the snapshot

       Then it comes with the following Error

• You cannot use SnapRestore to revert a single file if that file is a directory or a symbolic link, or contains NT streams.

Hi Sanjeev / Team

Thanks a lot.  i am aware of this but there are no NTFS streams associated with this. I know both Qtrees and directores can not be restored.

Does Snaprestore allow to restore a single file from a directory?

Secondly,  Is there a GUI utility for this?

Thanks
