- A. Snapshot Manager creates point-in-time snapshots for rollback purposes but is not a backup solution - snapshots are not independent backups and reside on the same datastore as the VM.
- B. VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB) is a legacy tool deprecated before vSphere 5 and is not supported or available on modern ESXi hosts.
- C. VMware Data Recovery (VDR) is the predecessor to VDP and was deprecated in vSphere 5.1 - it is not the recommended or current solution for vSphere environments.
