Restoring a volume from a Snapshot copy
You can restore a volume to a state recorded in a previously taken Snapshot copy to retrieve lost information. Keep in mind that restoring a Snapshot copy overwrites the existing volume configuration. Any changes made to the data in the volume after the Snapshot copy was made are lost. The feature requires that the SnapRestore license is installed on your system.
Before you begin 
Before restoring a Snapshot copy, perform the following tasks:
•
If the volume you want to restore contains a LUN, always unmount or unmap the LUN before proceeding.
•
Before restoring a Snapshot copy, check that you have available space for the restored volume.
