Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 359 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02
Question #: 359
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 Questions]

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.
  • B. Create a backup plan in AWS Backup to back up the data to Amazon S3. Schedule the backup plan to run daily.
  • C. Install the AWS DataSync agent as a VM that runs on the on-premises hypervisor. Configure a DataSync task to replicate the data to Amazon S3 daily.
  • D. Use an AWS Snowball Edge device for the initial backup. Use AWS DataSync for incremental backups to Amazon S3 daily.

The only problem with C is that a data sync is not a backup. If you delete a file, the sync will delete the file on AWS, but with backups you can restore it from yesterday's backup. So I think it's B.

I agree AWS DataSync is not a dedicated backup solution but it can be used for data replication that serves as a backup, it's essential to understand its limitations and distinctions compared to a comprehensive backup service: When to Use DataSync for Backup-Like Purposes: Initial Data Transfer: It's efficient for bulk migration of large datasets to AWS storage services. Incremental Updates: It excels at replicating ongoing changes to keep a copy of data in AWS, serving as a near-real-time backup. Cost-Effective Replication: It's often more cost-effective than traditional backup tools for ongoing data replication, especially for large datasets.

For me there are two cues: 1- "custom filters" which are available in Datasync 2- AWS Backup does not back up to S3, rather to a Storage Vault.

Selected Answer: C
Automatización: DataSync permite programar tareas periódicas, como respaldos diarios. Filtros personalizados: Puedes configurar filtros para incluir solo ciertos archivos o directorios específicos. Compatibilidad: DataSync está diseñado para grandes cantidades de archivos (como 1 millón de archivos .csv). Rendimiento: Se integra con Direct Connect, aprovechando la conexión de alta capacidad. Bajo overhead operativo: Solo debes instalar un agente una vez y definir tareas desde la consola de AWS. Es administrado completamente por AWS.

Option C is a good choice for this scenario. Using AWS DataSync to replicate the data to Amazon S3 daily (Option C) meets all the requirements: It provides an automated solution for backing up data to the cloud. It allows you to apply custom filters to back up only a subset of the data located in designated source directories. Since DataSync is designed for scalable and efficient data transfer, it should provide better performance for large datasets. Here are some benefits of using AWS DataSync: Easy setup and configuration Automatic replication to Amazon S3 Scalable and efficient data transfer Supports custom filters for selective data backup
