A company runs a production server named `vm-prod-east` in the East US region. The server is backed up to a Recovery Services vault that has geo-redundant storage (GRS) and Cross-Region Restore (CRR) enabled. Following a disaster in the primary region, the operations team needs to restore the virtual machine to the paired secondary region (West US).
Which sequence of actions should the operations team perform to complete this restore?
- 1Open the Backup center in the Azure portal and select the restore option for Azure Virtual Machines.
- 2Select the backup instance for vm-prod-east and change the recovery region to the secondary region.
- 3Choose an available recovery point from the secondary region backup data.
- 4Specify the destination resource group, virtual network, subnet, and staging storage account in the secondary region.
- 5Review the configuration details and trigger the restore job.
Answer
To perform a Cross-Region Restore (CRR) of an Azure Virtual Machine, the administrator must first open the Backup center and choose to restore a virtual machine. Next, select the backup instance and set the recovery region to the secondary region. Then, choose a recovery point, configure the target resource group, virtual network, subnet, and staging storage account in the secondary region, and finally trigger the restore job.
The correct sequence begins by accessing the Backup center and selecting the restore option for Azure Virtual Machines. The administrator then selects the specific backup instance and switches the recovery region to the secondary region. Next, a valid recovery point from the secondary region is chosen. Once the point is selected, the target resources (Resource Group, VNet, subnet, and staging storage account) within the secondary region must be specified. Finally, the restore job is triggered to deploy the VM.
