Data ONTAP 8.0 7-Mode Fundamentals

Which two statements are true concerning Snapshot copies?

Choose two
  • A A snapshot copy is read-only image of a flexible volume or an aggregate that captures the state of the file system at a point in time.
  • B Snapshot copies can be created interactively via command line or created on schedule with the snapshot configuration.
  • C Snapshot copies carry the same read and write permissions as the original file.
  • D Snapshot copies are a duplicate copy of the original data.
  • E A snapshot residing on the same physical media as the original data is disaster recovery solution.
Explanation

A Snapshot copy is a read-only, point-in-time filesystem image. ONTAP supports user-requested Snapshot copies and scheduled Snapshot creation through Snapshot copy policies. Snapshot copies share unchanged data blocks with the active filesystem rather than duplicating all original data, and copies on the same physical media do not constitute disaster recovery.
