Which NetApp feature delivers WORM capabilities at the volume level?

• A. SnapVault
• B. FlexGroup
• C. SnapLock
• D. SyncMirror

Answer: (C)

WORM capability means data cannot be changed or deleted during a defined retention period. NetApp SnapLock delivers this immutability at the volume level by turning a volume into a WORM-capable container and applying a retention policy. With SnapLock, you choose a mode (Compliance for regulatory immutability, or Enterprise for extended retention with controlled overrides) and set a retention period; during that window, writes or deletions are prevented, ensuring tamper-resistant storage.

Other features serve different purposes: SnapVault is for backups/restore points, FlexGroup is for scaling and performance of large file workloads, and SyncMirror is for DR/mirror replication. None of these enforce volume-level immutability, so they don’t provide the WORM capability that SnapLock offers.
