NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v5 — Question 17

In your organization, you are asked to protect your users' home directory volume by keeping one monthly Snapshot copy for twelve months, one weekly Snapshot copy for 26 weeks, and one daily Snapshot copy for 30 days.
Which two statements describe how you would accomplish this task? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Create separate job schedules for monthly, weekly, and daily.
• B. Create a snapshot policy to include the new job schedules.
• C. Create one job schedule that includes monthly, weekly, and daily.
• D. Create a snapshot policy for each: weekly, monthly, and daily.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answer is B and C because creating a snapshot policy allows you to manage the job schedules efficiently for the different frequency requirements. Option A is incorrect as separate job schedules would complicate management, and option D is unnecessary since a single policy can handle all three types of snapshots.
