Difficulty: HardRecovery Services Vaults and Backup Vaults

You are configuring Azure Backup for a newly deployed architecture in the Sub-Prod-App subscription. The infrastructure includes the resources described in the table below:

Resource NameTypeRegionResource Group
VM-App-01Virtual MachineNorth EuropeRG-Core
Disk-Data-01Managed DiskNorth EuropeRG-Core
Share-Docs-01Azure File ShareWest EuropeRG-Data
VM-App-02Virtual MachineWest EuropeRG-Core

You create a Recovery Services vault named RSV-Core in North Europe and a Backup vault named BV-Core in North Europe.

You need to identify which backup configurations are supported using these vaults. Which backup configuration is valid for these resources?

  1. Back up VM-App-01 to RSV-Core, and back up Disk-Data-01 to BV-Core.Answer
  2. B
    Back up VM-App-02 to RSV-Core, and back up Share-Docs-01 to a new Recovery Services vault located in North Europe.
  3. C
    Configure the backup of Share-Docs-01 to RSV-Core using the subscription Owner role, which automatically grants the required data plane access to view and copy file share contents.
  4. D
    Perform a 'Replace existing' restore operation on VM-App-01 to migrate the virtual machine and its configurations directly into the West Europe region.

Answer

The correct configuration is to back up VM-App-01 to RSV-Core and back up Disk-Data-01 to BV-Core.
The correct configuration is to back up the virtual machine in North Europe to the Recovery Services vault in the same region, and back up the managed disk in North Europe to the Backup vault in the same region. This correctly aligns the resource types with their supported vault types and respects the regional constraints of Azure Backup.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the regional constraints for Azure Virtual Machine and Azure File Share backups.
Determine that VM-App-01 and Disk-Data-01 reside in North Europe, while Share-Docs-01 and VM-App-02 reside in West Europe.
Backups for virtual machines and file shares require the resources and the vaults to reside in the same Azure region.
2
Analyze vault type compatibility for the North Europe resources.
VM-App-01 (Virtual Machine) requires a Recovery Services Vault (RSV-Core), and Disk-Data-01 (Managed Disk) requires a Backup Vault (BV-Core).
Managed disks are backed up using Backup Vaults, while virtual machines are backed up using Recovery Services Vaults.
3
Evaluate the options to identify the correct vault and regional mapping.
The configuration backing up VM-App-01 to RSV-Core and Disk-Data-01 to BV-Core is the only valid option.
This configuration satisfies both the regional constraint (same region) and the vault type support matrix.
