A. B. C. D. E.

Correct Answers: A and D.

Option A is CORRECT because you can configure the backup frequency in a Backup plan.

Take the following snapshot as an example:

Option B is incorrect because you cannot configure the time for restoring backups in a Backup plan.

Option C is incorrect because this setting is outside of a Backup plan.

You can use the default backup window and customize it.

However, this operation is outside of a Backup plan.

As an AWS administrator, you can configure the following options in a Backup plan:

A. Frequency for AWS Backup to create a snapshot backup: You can specify the frequency at which AWS Backup creates a backup for each resource. For example, you can create a daily, weekly, or monthly backup.

D. Time at which the backup window begins and the duration of the backup window: You can specify the start time and the duration of the backup window. During this window, AWS Backup creates a backup for the specified resources.

Options B, C, and E are not configurable in a Backup plan.

B. Time to restore a backup: The time to restore a backup depends on the size of the backup and the network bandwidth available. This option is not configurable in a Backup plan.

C. New resource types that will be protected by AWS Backup: AWS Backup automatically detects new resource types that are created and protects them. This option is not configurable in a Backup plan.

E. An on-demand backup for a resource: You can create an on-demand backup for a resource using the AWS Backup console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs. This option is not configurable in a Backup plan.

In summary, as an AWS administrator, you can configure the frequency for AWS Backup to create a snapshot backup and the time at which the backup window begins and the duration of the backup window in a Backup plan.
