When talking to someone who works for the customer, they mention they are working on a different project with a major cloud provider that does not currently support immutability. Which of the following is the best option to still satisfy the requirement for offsite, immutable or air gapped backups if that cloud provider is selected for archive storage?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The best option to still satisfy the requirement for offsite, immutable or air gapped backups if the cloud provider selected for archive storage does not support immutability is to set up Scale-out Backup Repository capacity tier to a different cloud provider than the archive tier.Scale-out Backup Repository is a logical entity that groups several backup repositories into a single pool of storage, and allows to move backup files between performance and capacity tiers1.The capacity tier can be configured to use Amazon S3 or Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, which support Object Lock feature for immutability2. By using a different cloud provider for the capacity tier than the archive tier, the backup data can be stored in two separate locations, with one copy being immutable or air gapped. The other options are either not feasible (option A, as the scenario does not mention another site), not secure (option C, as the backup data can still be accessed or modified when the repository is online), or not offsite (option D, as the scenario requires a copy of backup data in a public cloud).Reference:Scale-out Backup Repository,Object Storage Immutability.

Wait, can you really trust cloud providers without immutability?

I vaguely recall that option D might be relevant since it mentions local storage with immutability, but I need to double-check the specifics.

I feel like option A could be a safe choice, but I’m not entirely confident about how a hardened repository works in this context.

I think the key here is to find a way to create an immutable backup copy, even if the cloud provider doesn't natively support it. Setting up a hardened repository at a different site or using local on-premises object storage that supports immutability seem like the most promising options to me.

I'm a bit confused by this question. Can the cloud provider's limitations be overcome, or do we need to find a completely separate solution? I'll need to review the options carefully to determine the best approach.

Okay, let's see. If the cloud provider doesn't support immutability, then I guess the best option would be to set up a separate backup repository on a different cloud platform that does support it. That way, we can still meet the requirement for offsite, immutable backups.

Hmm, the fact that the cloud provider doesn't support immutability is a real challenge. I'll need to think through the different backup strategies and how they could work around that limitation.

Option D could work, but relying on on-premises object storage might be a hassle if the cusKasandraer is already looking to move to the cloud. A, option A seems like the most straightforward and reliable solution.

Haha, option C reminds me of the old 'unplug the server to stop the backup' trick. Definitely not the way to go here.

I'm not sure why anyone would choose option C. Turning off a Windows repository in the cloud doesn't sound very reliable or secure to me.

Option A seems like the best choice here. Keeping a backup copy in a hardened repository at a different site ensures that the data is stored off-site and is immutable, satisfying the requirement.
