Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • SnapLock
  • Write Once, Read Many (WORM)
  • Back up the server data to a SnapLock volume, and then store it on LTO tape.

Answer

  • No, LTO tape data doesn't need to be restored to ONTAP first to unlock SnapLock.
  • Data under the SnapLock volume is WORM-type, but when stored on LTO tape, it can be restored directly to a disk under server management as regular data.
