Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 312 discussion

B is answer so the requirement is "The application’s EC2 instance configuration and data need to be backed up nightly" so we need "add the application’s EC2 instances as resources". This option will backup both EC2 configuration and data

Question says: " The application’s EC2 instance configuration and data need to be backed up", thus C is not correct, B is

As part of configuring a backup plan you need to enable (opt-in) resource types that will be protected by the backup plan. For this case EC2. https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/hands-on/amazon-ec2-backup-and-restore-using-aws-backup/#:~:text=the%20services%20used%20with-,AWS%20Backup,-a.%20In%20the%20navigation

B is the most appropriate solution because it allows you to create a backup plan to automate the backup process of EC2 instances and EBS volumes, and copy backups to another region. Additionally, you can add the application's EC2 instances as resources to ensure their configuration and data are backed up nightly.

i would say B

AWS KB states if you select the EC2 instance , associated EBS's will be auto covered . https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-backup-ec2-instances-efs-single-file-restore-and-cross-region-backup/

B is the most appropriate solution because it allows you to create a backup plan to automate the backup process of EC2 instances and EBS volumes, and copy backups to another region. Additionally, you can add the application's EC2 instances as resources to ensure their configuration and data are backed up nightly. A and D involve writing custom Lambda functions to automate the snapshot process, which can be complex and require more maintenance effort. Moreover, these options do not provide an integrated solution for managing backups and recovery, and copying snapshots to another region. Option C involves creating a backup plan with AWS Backup to perform backups for EBS volumes only. This approach would not back up the EC2 instances and their configuration

The application’s EC2 instance configuration and data are stored on EBS volume right?

The data is store on EBS volume so why we are not using EBS as a source instead of EC2

Use AWS Backup to create a backup plan that includes the EC2 instances, Amazon EBS snapshots, and any other resources needed for recovery. The backup plan can be configured to run on a nightly schedule.

The application’s EC2 instance configuration and data need to be backed up nightly >> B
