A demoting rollback restores a file system to a selected snapshot, and then demotes the file system to an object replication target.

Review the considerations for a rollback in Rolling back a file system from a snapshot.
  1. Navigate to Data Management > Protection > Snapshots > File System Snapshots.
  2. In the Snapshots pane, select the EVS and file system associated with the file system snapshot from the list of EVS instances.
  3. Locate the snapshot that you want to roll back to, click the more actions menu, and then click Rollback.
  4. In the Roll Back File System window, select Demote.
  5. Review the file system details: EVS name, file system name, and file system mount status.
  6. Review and configure the rollback steps. The steps include automatically unmounting the file system.
    1. In the Recover file system to snapshot created at list, select the snapshot that you want to roll back to.
      The listed snapshots are shown by date and time. The snapshot name is shown for the selected snapshot. If available, the object replication policy is also shown.
    2. Under Remove access points, select Shares and Exports (the defaults) to exclude SMB shares and NFS exports from the rollback. To include shares or exports, clear the applicable checkbox.
      For information about SMB share access points, see the description of Transfer to Object Replication Target in Additional information about creating an SMB share.

      For information about NFS export access points, see the description of Transfer to Object Replication Target in Additional information about creating an NFS export.

  7. Click Rollback, and then click Continue to confirm.
