A storage admin created a SnapVX snapshot of a volume for a quick backup. The source volume is later deleted by accident. The admin needs to recover the data from the snapshot. What is the likely outcome?

The snapshot automatically becomes a clone and can be used for recovery.

The snapshot may be unusable because it depends on the source volume's metadata and data blocks.

The snapshot can be used to restore the data because it is fully independent.

The snapshot can be mounted as a new volume and used directly.

What is a potential performance implication of reading from a SnapVX snapshot?

Reads are always slower than reads from a clone

Reads are always faster than reads from the source volume

Reads are unaffected by the source volume

Reads may require accessing the source volume for unchanged data

It is a copy that requires the same amount of storage as the source

It is a full independent copy that can be modified independently
