AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
An organization needs to back up its on-premises data to the cloud for long-term archival. The data is infrequently accessed but must be retained to meet compliance requirements. They want a solution that integrates with their existing backup processes and reduces storage costs. Which service should they use?
Use DataSync to transfer data to S3 Standard storage class.
Use Snowball Edge to migrate data to S3 Standard-Infrequent Access.
Implement Storage Gateway with the Tape Gateway configuration to store backups in S3 Glacier.
Storage Gateway with the Tape Gateway configuration emulates a physical tape library and integrates seamlessly with existing backup applications. It stores virtual tapes in S3 Glacier or S3 Glacier Deep Archive, providing low-cost long-term archival storage. This solution allows the organization to continue using their existing backup workflows while benefiting from scalable cloud storage. DataSync is designed for data transfers but does not integrate as effectively with traditional backup software. EBS snapshots are used for backing up Elastic Block Store volumes in the cloud, not on-premises data. Snowball Edge is suitable for large data migrations but is not designed for continuous backup operations.
