An RDS database needs point-in-time-restore for 14 days plus a guaranteed daily backup. Which feature enables both?
AAWS Snowball appliances staged on-prem
BManual snapshots taken once a year
CAutomated backups with a 14-day retention period (PITR + daily snapshot retention)
DSwitching to S3 Glacier Deep Archive
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Automated backups with a 14-day retention period (PITR + daily snapshot retention)
RDS automated backups give continuous transaction logs (PITR up to retention) + daily snapshots. Manual snapshots / Snowball / Glacier don't give PITR semantics.
