A company is backing up on-premises databases to local file server shares using the SMB protocol. The company requires immediate access to 1 week of backup files to meet recovery objectives. Recovery after a week is less likely to occur, and the company can tolerate a delay in accessing those older backup files.
What should a solutions architect do to meet these requirements with the LEAST operational effort?

A. Deploy Amazon FSx for Windows File Server to create a file system with exposed file shares with sufficient storage to hold all the desired backups.

B. Deploy an AWS Storage Gateway file gateway with sufficient storage to hold 1 week of backups. Point the backups to SMB shares from the file gateway.

C. Deploy Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) to create a file system with exposed NFS shares with sufficient storage to hold all the desired backups.

D. Continue to back up to the existing file shares. Deploy AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) and define a copy task to copy backup files older than 1 week to Amazon S3, and delete the backup files from the local file store.
