For NetApp storage systems that have the SnapRestore license installed, Veeam Backup & Replication uses the NetApp SnapRestore technology for restore from storage snapshots.
When you restore data from storage snapshot, Veeam Backup & Replication triggers NetApp to create a clone of a LUN via SnapRestore. To do this, NetApp restores LUN data to a new location on the volume where the original LUN is located. As a result, you have a read-write copy of the LUN holding VM data and can use it for restore operations.
