Question
Your company wants to migrate an Oracle-based application to Google Cloud. The application team currently uses Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) to back up the database to tape for long- term retention (LTR). You need a cost-effective backup and restore solution that meets a 2-hour recovery time objective (RTO) and a 15-minute recovery point objective (RPO). What should you do?
Options
- AMigrate the Oracle databases to Bare Metal Solution for Oracle, and store backups on tapes on-
- BMigrate the Oracle databases to Bare Metal Solution for Oracle, and use Actifio to store backup
- CMigrate the Oracle databases to Bare Metal Solution for Oracle, and back up the Oracle
- DMigrate the Oracle databases to Compute Engine, and store backups on tapes on-premises.

Explanation
Bare Metal Solution for Oracle provides dedicated, certified hardware for running Oracle workloads in Google Cloud, maintaining full Oracle licensing compliance and support. Actifio (now Google Cloud Backup and DR) is Google's enterprise backup and disaster recovery solution that integrates natively with Oracle on Bare Metal Solution. It supports Oracle RMAN-compatible backups, provides application-consistent snapshots, enables fast point-in-time recovery to meet a 15-minute RPO, and can restore databases within 2 hours to meet the RTO. Option A is incorrect because storing backups on on-premises tapes introduces retrieval latency that makes a 2-hour RTO and 15-minute RPO very difficult to achieve. Option C is truncated but typically involves a less integrated backup approach. Option D (Compute Engine) does not meet Oracle's support requirements and tape-on-premises storage would not meet the recovery objectives.
