Can I restore an accidently deleted snapshot?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9.x
- Write Anywhere File Layout (WAFL)
Answer
- No. Volume Snapshot deletion is final, as soon you delete a volume SnapShot, WAFL block scanners will start clearing the unreferenced blocks
- If the Data is very important, take the Aggregate offline as soon as possible and contact 3rd party recovery services
- If there is no other means of restore, contact NetApp Technical Support or log into the NetApp Support Site to create a case. Reference this article for further assistance.
