    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for performing an instant recovery of data associated with a locked snapshot. In various examples, the amount of time for performing a recovery of data associated with a locked snapshot is significantly reduced by making use of enhanced volume cloning functionality instead of making an actual copy of the data to be recovered. In one embodiment, the resulting volume clone representing the recovery volume is cleared of all data protection information (e.g., WORM flags and/or lock metafiles) that was previously used to protect the content from being changed when stored on the data protection volume so as allow the recovery volume to be used in read-write mode.
