Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2021 Architect Associate — Question 10

You are responsible for creating and maintaining an enterprise application that consists of multiple storage volumes across multiple compute instances in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
The storage volumes include boot volumes and block volumes for your data storage. You need to create backup for the boot volumes that will be done daily and a backup for the block volumes that will be done every six hours.
How can you meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Group the boot volumes into a volume group and create a custom backup policy. Group the block volumes and create a custom backup policy.
• B. Create on-demand full backups of block volumes, and create custom images from the boot volumes. Using a function to run at specific time to start the back up process.
• C. Group together multiple storage volumes in a volume group and create volume group backups.
• D. Create clones of all boot volumes and block volumes one at a time.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because it allows for the creation of tailored backup policies specific to the different types of volumes, ensuring the required backup frequencies are met. The other options either suggest methods that do not align with the specified backup schedules or are less efficient compared to using volume groups with custom policies.
