QuestionQ14

Backup and Restore

A storage administrator accidentally deleted a volume used for a 1 TB CIFS share. They confirmed that the operation occurred 8 hours ago. You must recover the data as quickly as possible.

Which step restores the volume in under one minute?

  • A Restore the data from S3 bucket
  • B Restore the volume from ONTAP System Manager.
  • C Restore the data from NDMP backup.
  • D Restore files from a Windows client recycling bin.
Explanation

ONTAP retains accidentally deleted volumes in its recovery queue for at least 12 hours by default. A volume deleted 8 hours earlier can therefore be recovered directly in ONTAP System Manager, which is substantially faster than restoring 1 TB of data from S3, NDMP backup, or a client recycle bin.
