To automate a single-file SnapRestore that would normally prompt for confirmation, which option can be used?

• A. Use the -f option with the Snap Restore command
• B. Enable the options snaprestore_noprompts enable=on option
• C. These prompts are for data protection and auditing and cannot be overridden
• D. Enter the priv set advanced mode on the storage system and the prompt will not appear

Answer: (A)

The capability you need is to suppress the interactive confirmation by using a force option on the SnapRestore command. The -f flag tells the command to proceed without prompting, which is exactly what you want for automation in a script or scheduled task. By forcefully executing the restore, you avoid any manual confirmation steps and keep the operation non-interactive.

Other ideas don’t fit because there isn’t a standard, reliable way to globally disable prompts via a separate toggle, and prompts can be overridden specifically with the force option already built into the command. Simply changing privilege levels or claiming prompts cannot be overridden won’t achieve automation; the proper method is using the force option on the restore command. Use with caution, and ensure the correct target path and snapshot are specified before running.
