Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Developer Associate — Question 129

You must implement a backup solution for your Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW) that will enable you to restore data as old as one year with a recovery point objective (RPO) of 10 days.
Which database backup strategy would you select?

Answer options

• A. Take weekly manual backups to supplement the automated backups and preserve them for 12 months.
• B. Use the automated backups.
• C. Take monthly manual backups to supplement the automated backups and preserve them for 12 months.
• D. Take quarterly manual backups to supplement the automated backups and preserve them for 12 months.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because taking weekly manual backups ensures you have a sufficient number of restore points to meet the 10-day RPO and allows retention for up to a year. The other options do not provide enough frequency of backups; B only relies on automated backups, which may not meet the RPO, while C and D do not provide adequate backup frequency to meet the RPO requirement.
