Merging a Snapshot Volume
This procedure merges a snapshot copy of a volume with the original
volume. The snapshot plex is detached from the snapshot volume and
attached to the original volume. The snapshot volume is removed. This
task resynchronizes the data in the volume so that the plexes are
consistent. By default, the data in the original plex is used for the
merged volume.
To merge a snapshot volume with its original volume
Step 1. Select the snapshot volume to be merged with its original volume.
Step 2. Choose Volumes > Snapback (Selected menu) or Volume Snapback
(Command Launcher).
Step 3. Complete the Snapback Volume dialog box as follows:
Volume Name: If the correct volume name is not already displayed in
this field, type the volume’s name or click Browse to
select the volume.
Options To replace the data in the original volume with the data
from the snapshot volume, select Resync From Replica
Volume.
