Explanation

Nutanix native asynchronous disaster recovery technology - implemented via Protection Domains (or Leap for newer versions) - is the correct mechanism to replicate AppStack .vmdk files between Nutanix clusters across sites. Protection Domains allow administrators to define a set of VMs and vDisks (including non-attachable AppStack volumes) and schedule async replication to one or more remote Nutanix clusters. This integrates natively with the Nutanix platform without requiring third-party tools. Option A (custom scripts) is fragile, error-prone, and does not handle permissions correctly at scale. Option D (external NFS NAS) introduces an external dependency and architectural complexity that contradicts the Nutanix converged infrastructure model and is not recommended in this scenario.
