According to the Nutanix Unified Storage Administration (NUSA) course, theSelf-Service Restore (SSR)feature empowers end-users to recover individual files and shares from file server snapshots without administrative intervention. It also allows users to configure snapshot schedules (snapshot frequency) as required.
This feature is explicitly described in the module “Configuring and Utilizing Self-Service Restore (SSR)” of the NUSA course, stating:
“Self-Service Restore enables end-users to browse available snapshots of their shares and folders, allowing them to recover individual files or entire folders independently. Snapshot frequency and retention can be configured to meet data protection requirements.”
In contrast:
Protection Domainsare used for DR (Disaster Recovery) and not for per-file restore by end-users.
Smart DRis also a DR-focused feature, not for user-level file recovery.
Access Based Enumeration (ABE)pertains to share visibility control, not file recovery.
