Managing Snapshots Using the MapR Container Storage Interface (CSI) Storage Plugin

This section describes how to create and delete one or more snapshots of volumes dynamically provisioned by the MapR Container Storage Interface (CSI) Storage Plugin on the MapR cluster.

The MapR Container Storage Interface (CSI) Storage Plugin v1.x.x uses the csi-snapshotter to support snapshot provisioning.

CSI now supports snapshot restore, which allows you to create a new volume from the snapshot data of another volume. See Creating a Volume from a Snapshot. To manually restore a volume, see Copying From a Snapshot Using the CLI.
