Which option meets compliance requirement to replicate 300TB of on-prem data to a public cloud object store?

• A. Cloud Volumes ONTAP
• B. StorageGRID
• C. BlueXP backup and recovery
• D. Cloud Volumes Service

Answer: (C)

Replicating a large on-prem dataset to a public cloud object store with compliance controls requires a backup-and-recovery solution that can scale, enforce retention policies, and protect data end-to-end. BlueXP backup and recovery is designed for exactly that: it centralizes backup and replication across on‑premises and cloud environments, and targets public cloud object stores (such as AWS S3, Azure Blob, or Google Cloud Storage). It supports large-scale data moves, incremental backups, and efficient transfer, while providing governance features like encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access control, immutable backups (where the target object store supports it), and retention/audit capabilities. These capabilities align with compliance requirements, making it the best fit for moving 300TB of data to a cloud object store in a controlled, auditable way.

Cloud Volumes ONTAP focuses on data management and replication between NetApp systems or cloud volumes, not specifically on backing up to public cloud object stores for compliance. StorageGRID is solid object storage, but it’s a storage target rather than a backup-and-recovery solution with built‑in compliance workflows. Cloud Volumes Service is a cloud-based volume service for hosting data, not a tool for offsite replication to object stores with the required backup governance.
