Which action is commonly used to ensure incremental backups after a volume SnapRestore operation, according to best practices?

• A. Take a new snapshot of the volume to create new base-level timestamps for the incremental backup.
• B. Reboot the storage system to reset timestamps.
• C. Ignore timestamps and proceed with incremental backups.
• D. Perform a base-level backup before any restore.

Answer: (A)

After a SnapRestore, the data in the volume is considered a new starting point for backups, so you need to re-establish the baseline for incremental backups. Taking a new snapshot of the restored volume creates fresh base-level timestamps that future incremental backups will use as their reference. This ensures that only changes since the restore point are captured in increments, keeping the backup chain consistent. Rebooting the system doesn’t reset or rebase the incremental backup timestamps. Ignoring timestamps would break the incremental chain and risk incomplete or corrupted backups. A base-level backup before restore is useful for the pre-restore state, but it doesn’t establish a new baseline after the restore, which is what's needed for continued incremental backups.
