An administrator is preparing to transfer of local data to an Azure storage account using the Azure Import/Export service. The administrator has successfully run the `WAImportExport` tool to prepare two external hard drives, resulting in two separate journal files: `drive1.jrn` and `drive2.jrn`.
Which of the following actions should the administrator perform in the Azure portal to initiate the import process?
- Create a single import job and upload both drive1.jrn and drive2.jrn during the job creation process.Answer
- BCombine the contents of drive1.jrn and drive2.jrn into a single custom journal file, then upload it to a new import job.
- CCreate two separate import jobs in the Azure portal, uploading one journal file to each job.
- DUpload only drive1.jrn to a new import job, as Azure will automatically detect and associate the second drive when it is received.
Answer
Create a single import job and upload both drive1.jrn and drive2.jrn during the job creation process.
The Azure Import/Export service allows administrators to combine up to physical drives in a single import job. During the creation of the job in the Azure portal, the administrator must upload the individual journal (.jrn) files generated by the `WAImportExport` tool for each prepared drive. This links the encrypted drives to the import workflow.
