You can revert snapshots to an earlier version using the application aware method on UNIX operating systems. An application aware revert operation reverts back all volumes included in the backup.
Caution
Reverting is an irreversible operation. After performing a revert operation, you cannot use the associated storage policy for further auxiliary copy operations.
Before You Begin
Review the supported configurations for revert operation. For more information, see Revert for Storage Arrays.
