How can an administrator recover data from a snapshot in PowerFlex?

A . Restore Snapshot in the GUI actually rolls back the data, which is what recovery means here. B is a bit of a trap since protection domains are more about organization and protection, not restoring data itself. Let me know if I'm missing nuance, but pretty sure A is right.
Would assigning the snapshot to a protection domain (B) allow any kind of recovery or access to data?
Probably A, restore snapshot is the direct way to recover data in PowerFlex. That's what I've seen in docs too.
You’ll want to use A since "Restore Snapshot" (Overwrite) puts the data back exactly as it was at snapshot time. The other options don’t actually recover the original volume’s data. Pretty sure this is how PowerFlex handles in-place restores, agree?
Nice and clear question. A
