A company backs up data to on-premises servers at their main facility. The company currently has 30 TB of archived data that infrequently used. The facility has download speeds of 100 Mbps and upload speeds of 20 Mbps.
You need to securely transfer all backups to Azure Blob Storage for long-term archival. All backup data must be sent within seven days.
Solution: Backup data to local disks and use the Azure Import/Export service to send backups to Azure Blob Storage.

A. B.A
Yes, the proposed solution meets the goal of securely transferring 30 TB of archived data to Azure Blob Storage within seven days.
The proposed solution is to backup the data to local disks first and then use the Azure Import/Export service to send the backups to Azure Blob Storage. This approach is suitable for transferring large amounts of data to Azure in a secure and cost-effective way.
The Azure Import/Export service enables you to transfer large amounts of data to and from Azure Blob Storage by using hard disk drives. In this solution, the company can backup the 30 TB of data to local disks and then ship those disks to the Azure data center. Once the disks arrive at the data center, the data can be transferred to Azure Blob Storage using the Import/Export service.
The proposed solution is ideal because it overcomes the limitations of the on-premises facility's upload speeds of only 20 Mbps. By using local disks, the data can be transferred at a much faster speed than what is possible over the internet. Additionally, the solution ensures that the data is securely transferred to Azure Blob Storage.
In summary, the proposed solution of backing up data to local disks and using the Azure Import/Export service to send backups to Azure Blob Storage is a suitable approach for securely transferring 30 TB of archived data within seven days. Therefore, the answer is A. Yes.
