Question

A company runs database workloads on AWS that are the backend for the company's customer portals. The company runs a Multi-AZ database cluster on Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL. The company needs to implement a 30-day backup retention policy. The company currently has both automated RDS backups and manual RDS backups. The company wants to maintain both types of existing RDS backups that are less than 30 days old. Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Configure the RDS backup retention policy to 30 days for automated backups. Manually delete manual backups that are older than 30 days. AWS Backup centrally automates and manages backups across AWS services. Amazon RDS is a managed relational database that handles patching, backups and failover. AWS Config tracks resource configuration changes and evaluates compliance. This option delivers the requirement at the lowest cost.
