You manage the Azure infrastructure for an organization with resources distributed across two subscriptions. The resources are configured as shown in the following table:
| Subscription | Resource Group | Resource Name | Resource Type | Region |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Subscription1 | RG-App-Central | vm-app-prod | Virtual Machine | Central US |
| Subscription1 | RG-App-Central | disk-app-data | Managed Disk | Central US |
| Subscription2 | RG-Ops-East | rsv-backup-east | Recovery Services Vault | East US |
| Subscription2 | RG-Ops-East | bv-ops-east | Backup Vault | East US |
You need to configure a backup solution for the virtual machine vm-app-prod.
Which two actions should you perform? Select two.
- Create a new Recovery Services Vault in the Central US region.Answer
- Create a backup policy inside the new Recovery Services Vault in the Central US region.Answer
- CConfigure backup for vm-app-prod using the rsv-backup-east vault.
- DConfigure backup for vm-app-prod using the bv-ops-east vault.
Answer
Create a new Recovery Services Vault in the Central US region and create a backup policy inside the new Recovery Services Vault in the Central US region.
To back up an Azure Virtual Machine, the virtual machine and the Recovery Services Vault must reside in the same geographical region. Because the virtual machine is in the Central US region and the existing Recovery Services Vault is in the East US region, you must create a new Recovery Services Vault in the Central US region. Additionally, a backup policy must be defined within the vault to complete the configuration.
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept
Azure VM backups require a Recovery Services Vault located in the same region as the target virtual machine, and are not supported by Backup Vaults.
