Nutanix Certified Professional (NCP) — Question 117

Which algorithm do snapshots and clones leverage to maximize efficiency and effectiveness?

Answer options

• A. Redirect-On-Write
• B. Copy-on-Write
• C. Split-mirror
• D. Continuous Data Protection

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, Redirect-On-Write, is the algorithm that optimizes the performance of snapshots and clones by writing changes to a new location rather than altering the original data. The other options, while related to data management, do not specifically describe the method used to maximize efficiency in the context of snapshots and clones.
