-dest-path <sub dir> - Destination path under the volume to copy the report file

This parameter specifies the destination junction-path where requested file is to be copied.

Examples

The following example shows sample output for generating report-file of volume copied to its own destination junction path.

cluster1::> volume show -fields junction-path -vserver vs0 -volume test_vol
                vserver volume   junction-path
                ------- -------- -------------
                vs0     test_vol /test_vol_path
cluster1::> security anti-ransomware volume attack generate-report -volume test_vol -dest-path vs0:/test_vol_path
                Report "report_file_vs0_test_vol_08-07-2025_04-27-18" available at path "vs0:/test_vol_path".

The following example shows sample output for generating report-file of volume copied to different volume's destination junction path.

cluster1::> volume show -fields junction-path -vserver vs1 -volume test_vs1_vol
                vserver volume       junction-path
                ------- ------------ -------------
                vs1     test_vs1_vol /ontap_vol
cluster1::> security anti-ransomware volume attack generate-report -volume test_vol -vserver vs0 -dest-path vs1:/ontap_vol
                Report "report_file_vs0_test_vol_08-07-2025_04-39-44" available at path "vs1:/ontap_vol".
