Perform a Restore on a Single Volume

In case of application-aware restores such as SQL databases or exchange mailboxes, resources must be taken offline before any restore operations are performed.

You must have credentials that provide power user privileges or better.

You can perform a restore on a volume using VSS provider. If you restart the VSS provider service while a snapshot is being taken, then the snapshot may fail. Therefore, perform the restore when there are no snapshots scheduled.

NOTE: The restore operation can only be performed on the source LUN.

From the list of local services on the Windows host, right click the VSS hardware Provider service and choose Stop.
Log out of the host.
Log into the host using Administrator privileges.
From the Start menu, type services to display the list of local services.
Double click the VSS hardware provider service to display the service properties.
Select the Log On tab.
From the Log On tab, change the user credentials to the logged in user credentials. Note that the credentials of the service must match the credentials of the Set-Configuration cmdlet you set in the next step.
Run the Set-Configuration powershell cmdlet using the Group Management IP address, and the array username and password.
Using SQL Management Studio, delete the ldf file from the volume to take the database offline.
Using Diskshadow, load the volume's metadata, import it, and add its snapshot to the snapshot recovery set.
Run resync.
The original contents of the volume are restored.
Using SQL Management Studio, bring the database back online.
