Restore a Volume from a Snapshot

This section describes how to restore a volume from a valid point-in-time snapshot.

Volume Restore from Point-in-Time Snapshots

The volume restore operation enables the resetting of volume data to a specified snapshot. Volumes can be restored from any valid point-in-time snapshot. All snapshots created after the snapshot being used for the volume restore are deleted after the restore operation has successfully completed. Volumes retain their size, in case the volume size is different from the snapshot size due to a volume resize operation.
