Q644. A company wants to use Amazon FSx for Windows File Server for its Amazon EC2 instances that have an SMB file share mounted as a volume in the us-east-1 Region. The company has a recovery point objective (RPO) of 5 minutes for planned system maintenance or unplanned service disruptions. The company needs to replicate the file system to the us-west-2 Region. The replicated data must not be deleted by any user for 5 years.Which solution will meet these requirements?

Correct Answer: C. Create an FSx for Windows File Server file system in us-east-1 that has a Multi-AZ deployment type.Use AWS Backup to create a daily backup plan that includes a backup rule that copies the backup to us-west-2. Configure AWS Backup Vault Lock in compliance mode for a target vault in us-west-2.Configure a minimum duration of 5 years

Explanation

To meet the requirements of replicating an Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file system to the us- west-2 region, maintaining a recovery point objective (RPO) of 5 minutes, and ensuring that the replicated data is not deleted for 5 years, the most suitable solution is:C. Create an FSx for Windows File Server file system in us-east-1 that has a Multi-AZ deployment type. Use AWS Backup to create a daily backup plan that includes a backup rule that copies the backup to us- west-2. Configure AWS Backup Vault Lock in compliance mode for a target vault in us-west-2. Configure a minimum duration of 5 years.By creating an FSx for Windows File Server file system with Multi-AZ deployment in us-east-1, you ensure high availability and durability of the file system. AWS Backup can be used to create a daily backup plan that includes a backup rule to copy the backup to the us-west-2 region, satisfying the requirement for replication. By configuring AWS Backup Vault Lock in compliance mode for a target vault in us-west-2 and setting a minimum duration of 5 years, you ensure that the replicated data will not be deleted for the required retention period.Option A is not the best choice for this scenario:A. Creating an FSx for Windows File Server file system in us-east-1 with a Single-AZ 2 deployment type does not provide the same level of high availability and durability as the Multi-AZ deployment. Additionally, configuring AWS Backup Vault Lock in compliance mode is a more suitable choice for the requirement of retaining data for 5 years.Option B is not the best choice either:B. Although creating an FSx for Windows File Server file system in us-east-1 with a Multi-AZ deployment type is suitable, configuring AWS Backup Vault Lock in governance mode does not guarantee the immutability of the replicated data for 5 years, as required.Option D is not the best choice either:D. Creating an FSx for Windows File Server file system in us-east-1 with a Single-AZ 2 deployment type does not provide the same level of high availability and durability as the Multi-AZ deployment. Additionally, configuring AWS Backup Vault Lock in governance mode is not as suitable for the requirement of retaining data for 5 years.Therefore, option C is the most appropriate solution for replicating the FSx for Windows File Server file system, meeting the RPO, and ensuring data retention for 5 years.
