Beginning with ONTAP 9.10.1, you can use System Manager to enable or disable client systems to access to a Snapshot copy directory on a volume. Enabling access makes the Snapshot copy directory visible to clients and allows Windows clients to map a drive to the Snapshot copies directory to view and access its contents.
You can enable or disable access to a volume’s Snapshot copy directory by editing the volume settings or by editing the volume’s share settings.
