A ransomware attack has compromised all files on a CIFS share. The volume had a retention policy of five daily Snapshot copies, but unfortunately, no Snapshot copies were available. It was confirmed that the cybercriminal accessed only the share and did not gain access to the NetApp ONTAP cluster.
What command should be executed to prevent the quick restore strategy from being compromised?

Setting snapdir-access to false prevents users accessing the CIFS/NFS share from viewing or deleting Snapshot copies via the .snapshot directory. This secures the Snapshot restore mechanism from being exposed or tampered with in case of another attack through file shares.

Wait, are we sure the snapshots were really gone? Sounds fishy.

This question feels similar to one we practiced where we had to secure snapshot directories. I might lean towards option C.

I think I remember something about preventing access to snapshots, but I'm not entirely sure which command does that.

Haha, Option B is clearly a joke answer. Like the cybercriminal is going to care about multi-admin verification!

Hmm, I'm not sure. Option A might be a good choice to prevent the volume from automatically growing and potentially overwriting the Snapshot copies.

I'd go with Option D. Disabling automatic deletion of Snapshot copies seems like the best way to protect the data.

Option C is the correct answer. Disabling snapshot directory access will prevent the cybercriminal from accessing the Snapshot copies.

Alright, let's think this through. The question says the cybercriminal only accessed the share, not the ONTAP cluster, so I don't think we need to worry about multi-admin verification or disabling the snapshot directory access. I'm going to go with option D.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Does "prevent the quick restore strategy from being compromised" mean we need to keep the snapshots available, or is there something else we need to do?

I think the key here is to prevent the quick restore strategy from being compromised, so I'm leaning towards option D. Disabling the automatic deletion of snapshots seems like it would be the best way to protect the data.
