Clone a Volume from a Snapshot
Clones of snapshots are useful for restoring individual files instead of a complete volume.
Cloning a volume (via a snapshot) creates a new volume with a new name, but keeps all other settings of the original, including the data at the time the snapshot was taken.
When you clone a volume, settings such as reported size, reserve size, and security are cloned. Clones are set online by default, and are writable. The clone consumes space from the same space as the original volume.
NOTE: When a volume configured for synchronous
replication is cloned, the cloned volume will not automatically be configured for
synchronous replication.
