When data in a volume is lost or corrupted, you can roll back your data by restoring from an earlier Snapshot copy.

This procedure replaces the current data on the source volume with data from an earlier Snapshot copy version. You should perform this task on the destination cluster.

Steps
  1. Click Protection > Relationships, and then click the source volume name.

  2. Click Menu Options and then select Restore.

  3. Under Source, the source volume is selected by default. Click Other Volume if you want to choose a volume other than the source.

  4. Under Destination, choose the Snapshot copy you want to restore.

  5. If your source and destination are located on different clusters, on the remote cluster, click Protection > Relationships to monitor the restore progress.
