Restoring Snapshot Data from Clones Workflow
In the rare case that an entire dataset is corrupted, you can restore the entire volume. Restoring a volume from a snapshot replaces the data in the volume with the data that existed when you created the snapshot. Restoring a volume does not destroy the existing snapshot.
The following table describes the workflow for restoring snapshot data from a clone:
| Step | Notes | |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Change the State of a Volume | Before restoring data from a snapshot, the volume to be restored needs to be taken offline. |
| 2. | Take a Manual Snapshot | Taking a manual snapshot of the volume saves its most recent state. |
| 3. | Clone a Volume from a Snapshot | Clone a volume from the snapshot you want to use to restore the data. |
| 4. | Restore a Volume from a Snapshot | Restoring the volume from the snapshot restores the snapshot data to the volume. |
| 5. | Change the State of a Volume | After the volume is restored from the clone, you need to set the volume back online. |
