You are designing a backup solution for a large VMware environment. You are planning to
use snapshot technology to backup the virtual machines but management has expressed
concerns over how long the snapshots will take to create. What is a way to reduce the time
it takes to create a snapshot?

A.
Schedule the backups to occur when there is little I/O on the virtual machine
datastore

B.
Make sure at least 20% free space exists on the datastore where the virtual
machine resides

C.
Use Raw Device Mappings to ensure the backup server is able to have direct
access

D.
Ensure snapshots are taken of all datastores the virtual machine is using for virtual
disks
