Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Developer Associate — Question 24

Your organization has deployed a large, complex application across multiple compute instances in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). These compute instances also have block volume storage attached to them. You want to create a time consistent backup of this block volume storage.
Which implementation strategy should be used?

Answer options

• A. Create a manual backup of each volume
• B. Use scripts available in OCI to backup block volume storage
• C. Group volumes in a volume group first and then use available scripts in OCI
• D. Group volumes in a volume group and create a manual backup of the volume group

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because using available scripts in OCI is designed to automate the backup process and ensure consistency across the block volumes. Answer A is incorrect as manual backups do not guarantee time consistency. C and D also involve grouping volumes, but they still rely on manual intervention or are not as efficient as using the scripts available in OCI.
