Restoring a volume in a vault relationship
You can restore Snapshot copies to a source or other volumes if the source data is corrupted and is no longer usable. You can use System Manager to replace the original data with the Snapshot copies in the destination volume.
Before you begin 
•
The SnapMirror license must be enabled on both the source and the destination storage systems or the nodes that contain the source and destination volumes.
•
The source and destination clusters must be added to System Manager.
If you have added the source cluster after you have opened the destination cluster management window, you must close the management window and log in to the destination cluster again to view the source cluster.
•
If the source and destination clusters are in a peer relationship, the relationship state must be healthy.
Peer relationships might be in an unhealthy state due to various reasons—for example, intercluster LIFs between the clusters are down. In such cases, you might be able to successfully create vault relationships, but subsequent operations, such as initialization, might fail.
•
The source aggregate or the other aggregate that you select for the restore operation must be a 64-bit aggregate.
Steps 
1.
From the home page, double-click the appropriate storage system.
2.
Expand the Storage Virtual Machines hierarchy in the left navigation pane.
3.
In the navigation pane, select the Storage Virtual Machine (SVM), and click Protection.
4.
In the right pane, click the vault relationship, and then click Operations > Restore.
5.
In the Restore dialog box, restore the data to the source volume in the vault relationship or select any other volume:
If you want to restore to...
Do the following...
The source volume
a.
Select Source volume.
b.
Go to Step 9.
Any other volume
Select Other volume, and select the cluster and SVM from the list.
•
If System Manager is unable to retrieve the credentials of the selected cluster, you should use the Authenticate link to enter and save the credentials.
•
Only those volumes with the same language attribute as the source volume are listed.
6.
If the source and destination clusters are not in a peer relationship, use the Create Peer link to create a peer relationship between the destination cluster and the source cluster.
7.
Restore the data to a new volume or select any existing volume:
If you want to...
Do the following...
Create a new volume
If you want to change the default name, displayed in the format destination_SVM_name_destination_volume_name_ restore, specify a new name and select the containing aggregate for the volume.
Select an existing volume
Select the Select Volume option.
You must select a volume other than the source volume, or a read/write volume with some data in it and with a common Snapshot copy.
Only those volumes with the same language attribute as the source volume are listed.
8.
Select the latest Snapshot copy or select the specific Snapshot copy that you want to restore.
9.
Select the confirmation check box and click Restore.
