NetApp Certified Storage Associate (NCSA) — Question 24

As part of your backup policy, you configured a local snapshot schedule on your production volume. You review the list of Snapshot copies and you do not see a snapshot from last night.
What are two causes for this problem? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The volume had 255 Snapshot copies.
• B. A storage takeover happened.
• C. Snapshot autodelete is enabled.
• D. The volume snapshot reserve was decreased.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Answer A is correct because having 255 Snapshot copies exceeds the limit, preventing new snapshots from being created. Answer C is also correct as Snapshot autodelete can remove older snapshots to make space for new ones. The other options do not directly explain the absence of a snapshot from the previous night.
