Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2023 Architect Associate — Question 37

Which statement is TRUE about restoring a volume from a block volume backup in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Block Volume service?

Answer options

• A. You can only restore a volume to the same availability domain in which the original block volume resides.
• B. You can restore a volume from any full volume backup but not from an incremental backup.
• C. You can restore only one volume from a manual block volume backup.
• D. You can restore a block volume backup to a larger volume size.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because OCI allows users to restore a block volume backup to a larger size than the original. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they impose restrictions that do not apply; for instance, restoration can occur in different availability domains, both full and incremental backups can be used, and multiple volumes can be restored from a manual backup.
