[All NS0-527 Questions]

A storage administrator is reviewing NAS volume space allocation and is concerned that the Snapshot copies that are recently created to protect the volumes are not storing the data from the volumes. One volume contains over 20 GB of data, although the latest SnapShot copy contains only 198 KB of data.

In this scenario, which statement is true?

Haha, so the Snapshot copies are just like those magic trick boxes - they seem empty, but there's actually a whole universe inside! Gotta love technology.

Restoring the volume from all the Snapshot copies? That's a lot of data to juggle. I hope the ONTAP wizards have a good system for that.

The background process for creating Snapshot copies? Sounds like a bunch of wizardry going on behind the scenes. I bet it's a real-time saver, though.

I don't think so, because if that were the case, the Snapshot copy should still contain more than 198 KB of data for a 20 GB volume.

But what about option B) The Snapshot policy is defined to create the Snapshot copy with only the most recent data changes? Could that be a possibility?

Hmm, I'm pretty sure the Snapshot policy is supposed to capture all the changes, not just the latest ones. This sounds like a tricky situation.

I agree with Gwenn, because if the Snapshot copy only contains 198 KB of data for a 20 GB volume, it must be referencing metadata.

I think the correct answer is A) ONTAP references metadata when creating Snapshot copies instead of copying data blocks.

Wait, so ONTAP only stores metadata in the Snapshot copies? That's wild! The volume must be filled with some invisible data then.
