Contributors netapp-thomi

Beginning with ONTAP 9.8, you can restore a single file from a FlexGroup SnapMirror vault or from a UDP destination.

About this task

  • You can restore from a FlexGroup volume of any geometry to FlexGroup volume of any geometry

  • Only one file per restore operation is supported

  • You can restore to either the original source FlexGroup volume or to a new FlexGroup volume

  • Remote fenced file lookup is not supported.

    Single file restore fails if the source file is fenced.

  • You can restart or clean up an aborted single file restore

  • You should clean up a failed single file restore transfer by using the clean-up-failure option of the snapmirror restore command

  • Expansion of FlexGroup volumes is supported when a FlexGroup single file restore is in progress or in an aborted state

Steps

  1. Restore a file from a FlexGroup volume:snapmirror restore -destination-path destination_path -source-path source_path -file-list /f1 -throttle throttle -source-snapshot snapshot

    The following is an example of a FlexGroup volume single file restore operation.
