Restore a snapshot to a new volume using Azure NetApp Files

Snapshots enable point-in-time recovery of volumes. Currently, you can restore a snapshot only to a new volume.

Steps

  1. Select Snapshots from the Volume page to display the snapshot list.

  2. Right-click the snapshot to restore and select Restore to new volume from the menu option.

  3. In the Create a Volume window, provide information for the new volume:

    • Name
      Specify the name for the volume that you're creating.

      The name must be unique within a resource group. It must be at least three characters long. It can use any alphanumeric characters.

    • Quota
      Specify the amount of logical storage that you want to allocate to the volume.

  4. Select Review+create. Select Create.
    The new volume uses the same protocol that the snapshot uses.
    The new volume to which the snapshot is restored appears in the Volumes page.
    The snapshot used to create the new volume will also be present on the new volume.
