Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Custom Oracle Autonomous Linux scripts cron-scheduled to push to Object Storage.
Why it's wrong here
While possible, this is a manual custom solution whereas native OCI backup policies automate block volume backups.
- ✗
OCI File Storage service snapshot schedules.
Why it's wrong here
File Storage snapshots apply to File Storage systems, not Block Volume block storage.
- ✗
OCI Block Volume Vaults with automated cross-region replication policies.
Why it's wrong here
Vaults manage encryption keys, not backup schedules directly.
- ✓
OCI Volume Backup Policies attached to the block volumes.
Why this is correct
OCI provides predefined and user-defined backup policies to automate daily, weekly, and monthly block volume backups.
