Does it work if we take a snapshot of VM (esxi) running vertica node and restore it at a later point

Hi,
We have a customer running our application on VMs. Vertica cluster is also running on VMWare. The customer has taken a snapshot of VM at some point and tried to restore it snapshot at a later point. Is it a correct expectation that the vertica node will recover ? Is this a recommended thing to do in VM environments?
