I take that back, it says it wants a managed service to transfer the files to AWS storage. The only one here is AWS Storage Gateway.

I don't agree, also AWS Backup is a managed service. See here: https://aws.amazon.com/backup/ Moreover, who will bring and archive the already compressed files that are on prem? Only with AWS Backup you can do it. The requirement is "transfer the files", not to manage the files on cloud, and then archive them for 7 years. So my answer is C.

No, AWS Backup doesn't take his input from on-prem. So the answer is definitely D.

After checking some documentation on AWS backup, I have come to a conclusion that the answer is - Storage Gateway. ( Because as per the AWS documentation, You can not use AWS Backup to backup on Prem servers. In case you want to use it, you will have to go through Storage Gateway!!! Check Hybrid Backup section in this document link >> https://aws.amazon.com/backup/?whats-new-cards.sort-by=item.additionalFields.postDateTime&whats-new-cards.sort-order=desc )

Selected Answer: C
why aws back does not support on-prem? AWS Backup is a fully-managed service that makes it easy to centralize and automate data protection across AWS services, in the cloud, and on premises. Using this service, you can configure backup policies and monitor activity for your AWS resources in one place. It allows you to automate and consolidate backup tasks that were previously performed service-by-service, and removes the need to create custom scripts and manual processes. With a few clicks in the AWS Backup console, you can automate your data protection policies and schedules. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-backup/latest/devguide/whatisbackup.html

AWS Backup does support on-prem VMware VMs (new) and storage gateway volumes. The scenario doesn't mention these, so I'd be inclined to choose D.

come on! there is a small trick here, the question didn't ask the type of storage service rather we were asked for the service to transfer to the AWS storage. So, Storage gateway is the answer.

AWS Storage Gateway is a set of hybrid cloud services that gives you on-premises access to virtually unlimited cloud storage. Customers use Storage Gateway to integrate AWS Cloud storage with existing on-site workloads so they can simplify storage management and reduce costs for key hybrid cloud storage use cases. These include moving backups to the cloud, using on-premises file shares backed by cloud storage, and providing low latency access to data in AWS for on-premises applications.

D is the answer Storage Gateway supports three key hybrid cloud use cases – (1) Move backups and archives to the cloud, (2) Reduce on-premises storage with cloud-backed file shares, and (3) Provide on-premises applications low latency access to data stored in AWS.
