An administrator is configuring backups for the resources in an Azure subscription named Sub-CloudAdmin-Prod. The subscription contains the resources shown in the following table:
| Resource Name | Resource Type | Region |
|---|---|---|
| vm-billing-ne | Virtual machine | North Europe |
| vm-shipping-we | Virtual machine | West Europe |
| rsv-billing-ne | Recovery Services vault | North Europe |
| bv-shipping-we | Backup vault | West Europe |
| sa-shipping-data | Storage account (contains share-shipping) | West Europe |
The administrator needs to configure backups for vm-shipping-we and the Azure file share named share-shipping.

- Create a new Recovery Services vault in West Europe, and configure it to back up both vm-shipping-we and share-shipping.Answer
- BBack up vm-shipping-we to rsv-billing-ne, and back up share-shipping to bv-shipping-we.
- CBack up vm-shipping-we to a new Recovery Services vault in West Europe, and configure bv-shipping-we to back up share-shipping by assigning the Contributor role on the storage account.
- DBack up both vm-shipping-we and share-shipping to rsv-billing-ne by enabling the Cross-Region Restore feature on rsv-billing-ne.
Answer
Create a new Recovery Services vault in West Europe, and configure it to back up both vm-shipping-we and share-shipping.
To back up Azure Virtual Machines and Azure File Shares, a Recovery Services vault must be used. Additionally, the Recovery Services vault must be located in the same region as the source resources. Since both the virtual machine and the storage account containing the file share are in the West Europe region, a new Recovery Services vault must be created in West Europe to configure backups for both resources.
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept
Recovery Services vaults support virtual machine and file share backups, and must reside in the same region as the source resources.
