Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Developer Associate — Question 143

You have a shared file system between two web servers using File Storage Service (FSS) and you were tasked to create a backup plan for this environment to protect the data placed into the shared file system.
What is the recommended approach to create this backup using FSS features?

Answer options

• A. Implement a backup policy to execute a snapshot of the shared volume.
• B. Implement a backup policy to copy data from the shared volume to object storage.
• C. Compress the data that is in the shared volume and copy it into a different folder on the boot volume disk.
• D. Use the rsync tool to send data from the shared volume to a boot volume disk.
• E. Use the rsync tool to send data from the shared volume to a block volume.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as implementing a backup policy to execute a snapshot of the shared volume effectively captures the current state of the data and allows for quick recovery. Options B, C, D, and E involve transferring or compressing data, which may not provide the same level of data integrity and ease of recovery as snapshots do in FSS.
