So if you go into the service and show, you can select rollback, but we currently don't support clone in the autoservice.

Hi,

Ok..but without clone how can i restore my data at file level.....it means if i rollback nexenta just restore all the folders and data that the snapshot contain...but if i want to restore some folder only from the snapshot then...???

Please suggest me the best way to restore the data from auto snapshot at file level.

Thanks, p-root

So a snapshot is a read-only copy of the file data, and a clone is a read-write filesystem. If you need a file from a snapshot, you can read it from the snapshot and write it into an active filesystem.

Hi Linda,

Can you please let me know how can i read that file from the snapshot,i am beginer for this storage application.

If you have 3 snapshots of, say, /tank/foo, go to /tank/foo/.zfs/snapshot, and you will see a folder for each snapshot, which you can browse into.

Hi,

Also please let me know how can i write an file from read only snapshot or move any file/folder from read only snapshot.

You copy it like any other file.

the snapshotted files end up in a hidden directory called .zfs in the share. I just did this on my mac, and when i went into the share, i just cd'ed into .zfs directory and saw 2 more directories, shares and snapshot, the files are located in the snapshot directory. Each snapshot has a directory(folder) name that is the name of snapshot. All the files are accessable, readonly from there..

Hi,

Thanks.....issue has been resolved....
