• CManaging snapshot retention policies
• DAutomating snapshot replication

Explanation

When configuring snapshots in PowerFlex, scheduling snapshot creation (A) and managing snapshot retention policies (C) are the two tasks that are automated - together they form the core of PowerFlex's snapshot policy engine, which lets you define when snapshots are taken and how long they are kept, without manual intervention.

B is wrong because fault sets are a protection domain concept related to hardware failure isolation, not snapshot management - snapshots are not "assigned" to fault sets.

D is wrong because snapshot replication is a separate feature (often requiring additional licensing or configuration like RecoverPoint), and is not part of the basic snapshot automation workflow in PowerFlex.

Memory tip: Think "SCheduling and Cleanup" - the two things any good automated backup system handles for you are when to take snapshots (Schedule) and when to delete them (Cleanup/Retention). Everything else - replication, fault sets - is separate infrastructure.
