A financial services company hosts an accounting application on an Azure Virtual Machine. The virtual machine uses Premium SSD v2 managed disks for its database and log volumes. You must design an Azure Backup solution that meets the following requirements:
* Backups must be taken multiple times per day to achieve a low recovery point objective (RPO).
* Quick recovery from local snapshots must be available for any data lost within the last 5 days.
* Backups must be kept in vault storage for 365 days to meet regulatory compliance.
Which two configurations must you include in the backup policy design? (Select two.)
- Define the backup policy type as Enhanced.Answer
- Configure the instant restore retention to 5 days.Answer
- CConfigure the instant restore retention to 365 days.
- DDefine the backup policy type as Standard.
Answer
To meet the requirements, the backup policy type must be defined as Enhanced and the instant restore retention must be configured to 5 days.
The correct configuration requires choosing the Enhanced policy type and setting the instant restore retention to 5 days. Premium SSD v2 disks are only supported by the Enhanced backup policy type, which also supports multiple backups per day. To achieve quick operational recovery from local snapshots, the instant restore retention must be aligned with the 5-day window.
