What SnapRestore does
SnapRestore enables you to revert a local volume or file on a storage system quickly to the state it was in when a particular Snapshot copy was taken. In most cases, reverting a file or volume is much faster than restoring files from tape or copying files from a Snapshot copy to the active file system.
