In modern IT Infrastructure, data is critical and having a copy of your data from where you can recover from has become an important pre-requisite for system design. To achieve this we use a technology known as Snapshot.

Absolutely Yes

In Nutanix, we provide a technology known as application-consistent snapshot which can be selected when configuring Data Protection Domain.
