Question

Options

• AConfigure backups to the cloud storage and set minimum retention.
• BSchedule daily backups to local storage and weekly backups to cloud storage
• CArchive to tape that is stored in an isolated part of the building.
• DBack up to local storage that in turn is backed up to the cloud storage

• B

• D

Explanation

This hybrid approach satisfies both requirements: local storage enables quick file recovery (fast restore times without relying on internet bandwidth), and cloud backup provides offsite disaster recovery. By chaining local-to-cloud, the cloud backup is updated whenever the local backup runs. If local backups are scheduled daily, the maximum data loss in a complete disaster is one day - well within the three-day RPO requirement. Option B (daily local + weekly cloud) risks up to 7 days of loss in a disaster. Option A (cloud only) lacks the quick-recovery capability. Option C (tape in same building) does not provide offsite disaster protection.
