Which statement best describes FlexClone?

Creates a full physical copy of a volume Performs asynchronous replication between clusters Maintains read-only replicas for backup Creates a writable, space-efficient copy based on a Snapshot

Correct Answer:

Creates a writable, space-efficient copy based on a Snapshot

Explanation:

FlexClone creates a writable, space-efficient copy of a volume by using an existing Snapshot as the base. When you create the clone, no data is copied; the clone initially shares data blocks with the source. Writes go to the clone and only the changed blocks are allocated for it (copy-on-write), so storage usage stays minimal and the clone appears almost instantly. This differs from a full physical copy, which duplicates all data, and from replication or read-only backup replicas, which are separate mechanisms for data protection or distribution. Therefore, describing FlexClone as a writable, space-efficient copy based on a Snapshot is the accurate characterization.
