Hi!

I have a Kubernetes cluster with Trident using NetApp ONTAP. I have configured a VolumeSnapshotClass for Trident so I can trigger snapshots in NetApp by creating a VolumeSnapshot resource in Kubernetes. I have also enabled SnapMirror for the SVM so the snapshots should be stored safely.

Now I wonder: what happens if my cluster gets nuked and I need to recover from one of these snapshots? How would I go about doing that, considering that my VolumeSnapshot and VolumeSnapshotContent resources existed in the cluster that got wiped out?

Cheers!
