A company has migrated Microsoft Windows Server workloads to Amazon EC2 in the us-west-1 Region and seeks a quick recovery solution in us-west-2 in case of a disaster. The company requires automated backups with minimal data loss (no more than 24 hours) and minimal administrative effort. Which solutions meet these criteria?
Explanation:
The most appropriate solutions for this scenario with the least administrative effort involve using an automated backup plan and ensuring the data is copied to the us-west-2 region. Option B sets up an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) lifecycle policy to create backups and schedule them to run twice daily, with automatic copying to us-west-2, which meets the requirements perfectly. Option D leverages AWS Backup to create a vault and a backup plan for EC2 instances based on tags, specifying us-west-2 as the destination for the copy, and schedules the backup to run twice daily. Both solutions minimize administrative effort and ensure data availability with less than 24 hours of data loss.
