Considerations for restoring a Snapshot copy

Contributors netapp-ivanad akseldavis Download PDF of this page

Before restoring Snapshot copies, ensure that you are not using the file system, and that you do not interrupt the restore process.

Before restoring a Snapshot copy, consider the following important information:

  • Ensure you are not in any directory on a file system that you want to restore. You can perform the snapdrive snap restore command from any directory except the one on a file system to which you want to restore the information.

  • Do not interrupt the restore operation by entering Ctrl-C. Doing so could leave your system in an unusable configuration. If that happens, you might have to contact the NetApp technical support to recover.

  • When exporting the NFS entities to a volume, set the Anonymous User ID option to “0” for the snapdrive snap restore command to work successfully.
