Question

Difficulty: MediumRecovery Services Vaults and Backup Vaults

An administrator manages an Azure subscription named `sub-retail-prod` that contains the resources shown in the following table:

Resource NameTypeRegion
`rsv-emea-01`Recovery Services VaultWest Europe
`bv-emea-01`Backup VaultWest Europe
`vm-app-01`Virtual MachineNorth Europe
`vm-web-02`Virtual MachineWest Europe
`disk-db-01`Managed Disk (attached to `vm-web-02`)West Europe
`stemea01`Storage AccountWest Europe

The administrator needs to configure backup for these resources.

Which configuration can be successfully implemented?

  1. A
    Back up `vm-app-01` to `rsv-emea-01`.
  2. Back up `disk-db-01` to `bv-emea-01`.Answer
  3. C
    Back up file shares in `stemea01` to `bv-emea-01`.
  4. D
    Back up blob containers in `stemea01` to `bv-emea-01` by assigning the Owner role on the storage account to the vault's managed identity.

Answer

Back up `disk-db-01` to `bv-emea-01`.
Backing up the managed disk to the Backup Vault is supported because Azure Managed Disks must be backed up to a Backup Vault rather than a Recovery Services Vault, and both the disk and the vault reside in the same region (West Europe).

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the backup target and vault types required for each resource.
Virtual machines and Azure Files require Recovery Services Vaults. Azure Managed Disks and Blob containers require Backup Vaults.
Azure Backup segregates workloads between Recovery Services Vaults and Backup Vaults depending on the resource type.
2
Verify regional constraints for Recovery Services Vault and Backup Vault configurations.
The resource to be backed up and the corresponding vault must reside in the same Azure region.
Cross-region backup association is not supported for these resource types.
3
Evaluate the proposed options based on vault type, region alignment, and permission requirements.
Only backing up the managed disk in West Europe to the Backup Vault in West Europe satisfies all constraints.
This matches both the correct vault type (Backup Vault for Disks) and regional alignment (West Europe).
