You plan to configure Azure Backup for a new Azure virtual machine named VM1. You must complete the initial configuration steps to ensure that VM1 is backed up successfully. Arrange the steps in the correct sequence to configure backup for the virtual machine.
- 1Create a Recovery Services vault in the same Azure region as the virtual machine.
- 2Define a backup policy that specifies the backup frequency and retention range.
- 3Enable backup on the virtual machine by linking it to the vault and policy.
Answer
To configure backup for an Azure virtual machine, you must first create a Recovery Services vault in the same region as the virtual machine. Next, you define a backup policy specifying the frequency and retention settings. Finally, you enable backup on the virtual machine by linking it to the vault and the policy.
The correct sequence starts with creating a Recovery Services vault in the same region as the virtual machine. Then, a backup policy must be defined to establish the schedule and retention rules. Finally, backup is enabled on the virtual machine, which references both the created vault and the policy.
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept
Configuring Azure Virtual Machine Backup requires a Recovery Services vault in the same region, a backup policy defining schedules and retention, and enabling backup on the VM.
