Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Incremental backups that capture only blocks changed since the last backup
Why this is correct
Block volume backups are fully incremental, capturing only blocks that have changed since the previous backup.
- ✓
Automated backup policies with predefined frequencies (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
Why this is correct
OCI provides built-in backup policies with varying retention and backup frequencies like Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
- ✗
Real-time synchronous mirroring of block volumes across global cloud regions automatically
Why it's wrong here
Synchronous replication across global regions is not automatic; asynchronous cross-region replication must be explicitly configured.
- ✗
Direct backup storage to local NVMe drives on the same server
Why it's wrong here
Backups must be stored in Object Storage, not on ephemeral local NVMe drives.
- ✗
Instantaneous read-only block volume cloning
Why it's wrong here
Block Volume cloning creates point-in-time writable clones, but point-in-time volume clones are fully read-write rather than read-only.
