GitHub user Jayd603 edited a discussion: Restoring volume snapshots from 
secondary storage in new CS cluster

If I need to restore all my volume snapshots to a new cluster, what is the 
optimal way to do that?

Say i have a full backup of my secondary storage and all volumes.  I mounted it 
read only to the new cluster as additional secondary storage.  Of course, no 
volume snapshots from there magically show up in the UI.   All the filenames 
are in UUID so I can't just guess at which is which.  Would it be required to 
import the snapshot list from the other clusters database in order to be able 
to restore/create templates from the backup storage?

I'm assuming yes, or is there a better way?

I do see the Snapshot copy feature.  Seemingly this will let me copy the 
snapshots between zones.  This looks useful.  If I choose to copy a snapshot, 
but it already exists on the destination, would it just add it to the new zones 
db?  Probably not right.  I'm already replicating the storage on the underlying 
file system, I just want the template list to be in sync.
