If you attempt a single file SnapRestore but the directory structure no longer exists, what is the likely remedy?

• A. You cannot restore; must restore the volume
• B. You must recreate the directory structure before trying to restore the file.
• C. Snapshot copies have been created since
• D. Once the directory structure has been deleted, you cannot restore the file using single file SnapRestore. You must now SnapRestore the volume.

Answer: (B)

Single-file SnapRestore places the restored file back into its original path, so the parent directory structure must exist in the active file system. If the directory path has been deleted, you need to recreate that directory structure first, then perform the single-file SnapRestore to recover the file from the snapshot. There’s no need to restore the entire volume just because the path was removed—the restore can target the individual file once its path exists again.
