What are the benefits of using snapshots in PowerFlex? (Choose two)
The correct answer is A. Enable quick data recovery D. Create a point-in-time copy of data. PowerFlex snapshots serve two core purposes: they capture the state of data at a specific moment in time (D), and that point-in-time copy can be used to restore data rapidly after corruption, accidental deletion, or failure (A).

Explanation
PowerFlex snapshots serve two core purposes: they capture the state of data at a specific moment in time (D), and that point-in-time copy can be used to restore data rapidly after corruption, accidental deletion, or failure (A). Option B is wrong because snapshots have no impact on fault tolerance - that's handled by protection domains and replication policies, not snapshots. Option C is incorrect because snapshots (especially writable ones) can consume additional storage over time rather than minimize it; space-efficient snapshots reduce overhead but that's not the primary benefit.
Memory tip: Think of snapshots as a "camera + rewind button" - D is the camera (capturing the moment), A is the rewind button (getting back to it fast). Both describe what snapshots are for.
