NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – NFS, ONTAP — Question 4

An administrator has an on-premises NetApp AFF cluster with 300TB of used volume space. 200TB of the volume data is tiered using NetApp BlueXP tiering to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). The administrator is tasked to configure NetApp BlueXP backup and recovery from the AFF cluster to Amazon S3.
When the first backup completes, how much data is copied from on premises to the cloud?

Answer options

• A. 500TB
• B. 300TB
• C. 100TB
• D. 200TB

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as only the data that is not tiered to Amazon S3 will be backed up. Since 200TB is already tiered, only the remaining 100TB will be copied to the cloud during the first backup. The other options are incorrect because they either overestimate or misunderstand the amount of data that needs to be backed up.
