1Z0-1072-25 Question 207
Select 2Your organization has multiple Block Volumes attached to the same compute instance, each storing critical data for different application components. You need to create coordinated snapshots of all these volumes together for consistent backups. Additionally, you want to test a new feature by creating a fully functional copy of the existing environment without affecting production data. Which two actions should you take to meet these requirements?
- A
A. Create a Volume Group that includes all the relevant Block Volumes, then perform a Volume Group Backup for consistent snapshots of all volumes at once.
- B
B. Configure a Block Volume replica for each volume to automatically mirror all data to another region.
- C
C. Use the Clone feature on the Volume Group to create a duplicate set of Block Volumes to test the new feature.
- D
D. Export the data as an Object Storage Snapshot and then re-import them into new Block Volumes in the target environment.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
By using a Volume Group, all the attached Block Volumes can be backed up consistently in a single operation, preserving the exact state of the data at that moment. A Volume Group clone provides a near-instant copy of all the Block Volumes, letting you test new features or create a staging environment without disrupting the original data. For more details, refer to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation on Volume Groups, Backups, and Clones.
- A. Correct.
A. Correct. Configuring a Volume Group and creating a Volume Group Backup is the recommended way to capture a consistent, point-in-time snapshot of multiple Block Volumes together. This ensures the state of all volumes is preserved simultaneously.
- B. Incorrect.
B. Incorrect. While a Block Volume replica is useful for disaster recovery in another region, it does not provide a straightforward mechanism for creating coordinated point-in-time backups across all volumes, nor does it help in creating a clone within the same region for testing.
- C. Correct.
C. Correct. Cloning the Volume Group allows you to duplicate the data in all Block Volumes at once without affecting the production environment. This clone can then be used to test the new feature or for development activities.
- D. Incorrect.
D. Incorrect. Exporting data to Object Storage and then re-importing it is not the standard approach for creating a point-in-time copy of multiple Block Volumes. It introduces additional steps, complexity, and does not maintain consistency across multiple volumes in a single operation.
