Difficulty: MediumConfigure Azure Data Box and Import/Export Services

You need to export 15 TB15\text{ TB} of data from an Azure Storage account to an on-premises datacenter by using the Azure Import/Export service. You plan to ship empty hard drives to an Azure datacenter.

What is a requirement for preparing the hard drives before they are shipped?

  1. Ensure the drives are formatted using the NTFS file system.Answer
  2. B
    Ensure the drives are formatted using the FAT32 file system.
  3. C
    Encrypt the drives using BitLocker Drive Encryption.
  4. D
    Use the WAImportExport tool to pre-stage the export journal files on the drives.

Answer

Ensure the drives are formatted using the NTFS file system.
For an export job using the Azure Import/Export service, you must format the drives using the NTFS file system. You do not pre-encrypt them or run the WAImportExport tool. Azure copies the data to the drives, encrypts them with BitLocker, and provides the encryption keys in your Azure storage account configuration.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the type of Azure Import/Export job.
The scenario describes an export job where data is moved from Azure to on-premises.
Different rules apply to drive preparation for import versus export jobs.
2
Determine the formatting and encryption requirements for export drives.
Export drives must be formatted with NTFS and shipped unencrypted.
Azure automatically handles BitLocker encryption on the target datacenter side for export jobs after copying the data.
3
Verify if the WAImportExport tool is required.
The WAImportExport tool is only used to prepare drives for import jobs.
Since this is an export job, running the WAImportExport tool is unnecessary and incorrect.
