Old backups should be deleted after seven years automatically. What do you plan?
Why D is the answer
Data retention and lifecycle management
Data retention and lifecycle management can delete old backups automatically.
In detail
- Retention and lifecycle rules delete data on a schedule.
- Check legal holds.
Use case
An illustrative scenario, not a real incident.
Backups must disappear after seven years, and a lifecycle rule does that.
See it in different ways
stateDiagram-v2 [*] --> BusinessNeed BusinessNeed --> Requirements Requirements --> Design: functional and non-functional Design --> Measure: KPIs and ROI Measure --> [*]
stateDiagram-v2 state "Backup created" as s0 state "Retained" as s1 state "Deleted" as s2 [*] --> s0 s0 --> s1 s1 --> s2: after seven years s2 --> [*]
Key point: Plan retention and lifecycle.
