A Company Is Backing Up On-Premises Databases to Local File

question 169

Multiple Choice

A company is backing up on-premises databases to local file server shares using the SMB protocol. The company requires immediate access to 1 week of backup files to meet recovery objectives. Recovery after a week is less likely to occur, and the company can tolerate a delay in accessing those older backup files. What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements with the LEAST operational effort?

• A) Deploy Amazon FSx for Windows File Server to create a file system with exposed file shares with sufficient storage to hold all the desired backups.
• B) Deploy an AWS Storage Gateway file gateway with sufficient storage to hold 1 week of backups. Point the backups to SMB shares from the file gateway.
• C) Deploy Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) to create a file system with exposed NFS shares with sufficient storage to hold all the desired backups.
• D) Continue to back up to the existing file shares. Deploy AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) and define a copy task to copy backup files older than 1 week to Amazon S3, and delete the backup files from the local file store.
