Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect — Question 96

At Dress4Win, an operations engineer wants to create a tow-cost solution to remotely archive copies of database backup files.
The database files are compressed tar files stored in their current data center.
How should he proceed?

Answer options

• A. Create a cron script using gsutil to copy the files to a Coldline Storage bucket.
• B. Create a cron script using gsutil to copy the files to a Regional Storage bucket.
• C. Create a Cloud Storage Transfer Service Job to copy the files to a Coldline Storage bucket.
• D. Create a Cloud Storage Transfer Service job to copy the files to a Regional Storage bucket.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because using the Cloud Storage Transfer Service is ideal for transferring large amounts of data efficiently and can be scheduled. Options A and B involve using gsutil, which may not be as cost-effective for archiving compared to Coldline Storage, and option D would be less economical than option C as Regional Storage is not designed specifically for low-cost archiving.
