Fast snapshot restore for a snapshot can be in one of the following states.

+ `disabling` — A request was made to disable fast snapshot restore, or a request to enable fast snapshot restore failed.
+ `disabled` — Fast snapshot restore is disabled. You can enable fast snapshot restore again as needed.
