Quick note on working with vmfsktools
So I’ve been restoring some Windows servers from NetApp snapshots today, specifically single hard disks that had been having problems (long story involving Windows problems, etc). I found this pretty easy to do once I got the syntax down – basically, all I was looking to do was to restore the C: of a server, but keep it’s D: intact – that way I’d keep the most recent data, in this case some SQL files, but could roll back to a point where the Windows OS was a little less hosed up. Mostly for my own quick reference in the future, this is how I cranked a bunch of these out.
