NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – NFS, ONTAP — Question 5

Your customer wants to set up a local retention time of at least four months. They also want to protect a week of retention from being deleted by ransomware or rogue administrators.
Which two settings create the correct Snapshot policy to achieve this? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Enable Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP) on the volume.
• B. Create a Snapshot policy with the weekly Snapshot copy retention time set to 122 days.
• C. Create a Snapshot policy with the maximum daily snapshots set to 122.
• D. Set the SnapLock retention period for the daily Snapshot copies to 7 days.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct because setting the weekly Snapshot copy retention time to 122 days ensures the four-month local retention requirement is met. Option D is also correct as it protects the daily snapshots for a week, preventing deletion by ransomware or rogue actions. Options A and C do not address the specific requirements regarding retention time and protection needed.
