vFiler unit (vfiler0). You cannot view any SnapVault relationships
configured through non-default vFiler units.

Restore engine does not honor any mandatory or advisory locks on files
The destination volume for a restore operation might have files with
mandatory or advisory locks. When you initiate a restore operation to such a
volume, the restore engine does not honor these locks. It ignores these locks
and overwrites the files.
