Correct Answer –A, D, E and F
AWS Backup is a central place to set up backup policies and monitor backup activities for AWS resources, including Amazon EBS volumes, Amazon RDS databases, Amazon DynamoDB tables, Amazon EFS file systems, and AWS Storage Gateway volumes. The details can be found in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-backup/latest/devguide/whatisbackup.html.
Option A is CORRECT: Because all AWS RDS types are supported except Amazon Aurora.
Option B is incorrect: Because S3 is a highly scalable, reliable service which does not need backups from AWS Backup service.
Option C is incorrect: Because Amazon Redshift is not a supported service for AWS Backup, according to the above.
Option D is CORRECT: Because AWS Backup does support Amazon EFS.
Option E is CORRECT: Because EBS volumes can be saved via snapshots which are manageable by AWS Backup.
Option F is CORRECT: AWS Storage Gateway is a storage service that enables the on-premises applications to use AWS cloud storage. AWS Backup can integrate with AWS Storage Gateway and help design a hybrid backup plan for the services both in the cloud and on-premises.
