The correct answer is A. Store 30 days of backups on premises and then age the backups to the public cloud. Option A satisfies all three requirements: recent backups (30 days) are stored on-premises for quick, ready access; older long-term backups are tiered ('aged') to the public cloud for off-site storage; and using the public cloud for archival eliminates the need to purchase and…

Question

A security learn recommends a disaster recovery plan with the following requirements:

  • Recent backups should be readily available.
  • Only long-term backups should be stored off premises
  • There should be minimum expenditure on hardware.

Which of the following satisfies all of these requirements?

Options

  • AStore 30 days of backups on premises and then age the backups to the public cloud
  • BStore backups on premises and burst to the public cloud if needed.
  • CStore backups both on premises and in a public cloud infrastructure
  • DStore all the backups in a public cloud with no on-premises backup storage

Explanation

Option A satisfies all three requirements: recent backups (30 days) are stored on-premises for quick, ready access; older long-term backups are tiered ('aged') to the public cloud for off-site storage; and using the public cloud for archival eliminates the need to purchase and maintain additional on-premises hardware. Option B (burst to cloud only when needed) doesn't ensure long-term off-site retention. Option C (both on-premises and cloud simultaneously) increases hardware costs without differentiation. Option D (all in public cloud) removes on-premises availability for recent backups.
