Difficulty: EasyRecovery Services Vaults and Backup Vaults

An Azure subscription contains the following resources:
* A virtual machine named `VM-Web-Prod` in `East US 2`
* A virtual machine named `VM-App-Dev` in `West US`
* A Recovery Services Vault named `Vault-West` in `West US`
* A Backup Vault named `Vault-East` in `East US 2`

You need to back up `VM-Web-Prod` by using Azure Backup. Which action should you perform?

  1. Create a new Recovery Services Vault in the East US 2 region.Answer
  2. B
    Configure the backup of VM-Web-Prod to use Vault-West.
  3. C
    Configure the backup of VM-Web-Prod to use Vault-East.
  4. D
    Move VM-Web-Prod to the West US region and use Vault-West.

Answer

Create a new Recovery Services Vault in the East US 2 region.
To back up an Azure Virtual Machine, you must use a Recovery Services Vault, and the vault must reside in the same region as the virtual machine. Because the target virtual machine is in East US 2 and the only existing Recovery Services Vault is in West US, you must create a new Recovery Services Vault in East US 2.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Determine the resource type and vault compatibility.
Azure Virtual Machines require a Recovery Services Vault for backup.
Backup Vaults do not support backing up Azure Virtual Machines; they support other workloads like Azure Disks and Blobs.
2
Check the regional requirements for Azure VM backup.
The Recovery Services Vault must be in the same region as the virtual machine.
Azure Backup does not support backing up a virtual machine to a vault in another region.
3
Determine the required resource to create.
Since there is no Recovery Services Vault in East US 2, a new Recovery Services Vault must be created in East US 2.
This configuration meets both the vault type requirement and the regional constraint.

Key Concept

To back up an Azure Virtual Machine, you must deploy a Recovery Services Vault in the same region as the virtual machine.
