Question 427 - SAP-C02 discussion

Export

A company maintains information on premises in approximately 1 million .csv files that are hosted on a VM. The data initially is 10 TB in size and grows at a rate of 1 TB each week. The company needs to automate backups of the data to the AWS Cloud.

Backups of the data must occur daily. The company needs a solution that applies custom filters to back up only a subset of the data that is located in designated source directories. The company has set up an AWS Direct Connect connection.

Which solution will meet the backup requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

A.
Use the Amazon S3 CopyObject API operation with multipart upload to copy the existing data to Amazon S3. Use the CopyObject API operation to replicate new data to Amazon S3 daily.

Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

AWS DataSync is an online data transfer service that is designed to help customers get their data to and from AWS quickly, easily, and securely. Using DataSync, you can copy data from your on-premises NFS or SMB shares directly to Amazon S3, Amazon EFS, or Amazon FSx for Windows File Server. DataSync uses a purpose-built, parallel transfer protocol for speeds up to 10x faster than open source tools. DataSync also has built-in verification of data both in flight and at rest, so you can be confident that your data was transferred successfully. DataSync allows you to apply filters to select which files or folders to transfer, based on file name, size, or modification time. You can also schedule your DataSync tasks to run daily, weekly, or monthly, or on demand. DataSync is integrated with AWS Direct Connect, so you can take advantage of your existing private connection to AWS. DataSync is also a fully managed service, so you do not need to provision, configure, or maintain any infrastructure for data transfer.

Option A is incorrect because the Amazon S3 CopyObject API operation does not support filtering or scheduling, and it would require you to write and maintain custom scripts to automate the backup process.

Option B is incorrect because AWS Backup does not support filtering or transferring data from on-premises sources to Amazon S3. AWS Backup is a fully managed backup service that makes it easy to centralize and automate the backup of data across AWS services.

Option D is incorrect because AWS Snowball Edge is a physical device that is used for offline data transfer when network bandwidth is limited or unavailable. It is not suitable for daily backups or incremental transfers. AWS Snowball Edge also does not support filtering or scheduling.
