Explanation
High-speed storage, such as solid-state drives (SSDs), is more expensive and faster than slower storage, such as hard disk drives (HDDs). High-speed storage is suitable for live databases that require low latency and high performance, but not for backups that are rarely accessed and do not need fast retrieval. Therefore, the analyst should recommend moving the backups to slower storage, which can reduce the cost and improve the efficiency of the cloud resources expenditures. Moving the backups to slower storage can also free up more space for the live database on the high-speed storage.
