Your company is running a critical workload on a single Compute Engine VM instance. Your company's disaster recovery policies require you to back up the entire instance’s disk data every day. The backups must be retained for 7 days. You must configure a backup solution that complies with your company’s security policies and requires minimal setup and configuration. What should you do?
Configuring daily scheduled persistent disk snapshots with a retention period of 7 days is an effective solution for backing up the entire instance’s disk data. Persistent disk snapshots are incremental, which means only changes made since the last snapshot are stored, reducing storage costs. This approach complies with disaster recovery policies, requires minimal setup and configuration, and fits within the company's security policies.
B is answer.
Compute Engine snapshots provide a fast and efficient way to back up the entire disk of a VM instance, including the operating system, applications, and data. They are incremental backups, meaning they only store the changes made since the last snapshot, which helps save storage costs.
