Cloning a NAS Volume
Cloning a NAS volume creates a writable copy of the NAS volume. This copy is useful to test against non-production data sets in a test
environment without impacting the production le system environment. Most operations that can be performed on NAS volumes can also
be performed on clone NAS volumes, such as resizing, deleting, and conguring SMB shares, NFS exports, snapshots, replication, NDMP,
and so on.
The clone NAS volume is created from a snapshot (base snapshot) taken on the original NAS volume (base volume). No space is
consumed by the clone NAS volume until new data is stored or it is modied.
NAS Volume Clone Defaults
Clone NAS volumes have the following default values:
• The volumes have the same size as their base volumes, are thin-provisioned, and have a reserved space of 0 (and therefore consume
no space).
• Quota usage is copied from the base snapshot of the base volume.
