Snapshots is not a back up strategy
A snapshot is a feature in hypervisors that captures the state of a virtual machine (VM) at a specific point in time. This includes the VM's configuration, memory, and virtual disk data. Snapshots can be used to restore a VM to a previous version, allowing administrators to revert the VM to a known good state in case of problems, such as failed updates, configuration changes, or application issues.
Answer is B. The one of the differences between a storage snapshot and a backup is that the snapshot is stored at the same location as the original data. Therefore, it depends entirely on the reliability of the source. This means that in case of a disaster or damage to the source data, the storage snapshot will be lost or inaccessible. There is no way to restore if the source gets lost. In addition, snapshots on their own do not have the means to check for corruption or restore capabilities.
