Question
A data analysis company has two SAP landscapes that consist of sandbox, development, QA, pre-production, and production servers. One landscape is on Windows, and the other landscape is on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The servers reside in a room in a building that other tenants share. An SAP solutions architect proposes to migrate the SAP applications to AWS. The SAP solutions architect wants to move the production backups to AWS and wants to make the backups highly available to restore in case of unavailability of an on-premises server. Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?
Options
- ATake a backup of the production servers. Implement an AWS Storage Gateway Volume Gateway.
- BTake a backup of the production servers. Send those backups to tape drives. Implement an AWS
- CImplement a third-party tool to take images of the SAP application servers and database server.
- DTake a backup of the production servers. Implement an Amazon S3 File Gateway. Create file

Explanation
Amazon S3 File Gateway presents an NFS (for Linux) and SMB (for Windows) file share interface that is backed by Amazon S3, making it directly compatible with both the Windows and Red Hat Enterprise Linux SAP landscapes without requiring any change to the existing backup tools or scripts. Backups written to the file share are automatically stored as objects in S3, which is highly durable (11 nines), regionally available, and cost-effective with tiering options. This is the most cost-effective approach because S3 storage is inexpensive and there is no need for additional infrastructure. Volume Gateway (A) provides block-level storage, which is more expensive and complex than needed for file-based backups. Tape drives and AWS Tape Gateway (B) add cost and slow restore times. Third-party imaging tools (C) add licensing and operational costs beyond what the requirement demands.
