You are designing a backup solution for a cluster of Azure Virtual Machines that host a critical manufacturing execution system (MES). The virtual machines are configured as Trusted Launch VMs.
The solution must meet the following requirements:
- Backups must be performed every 4 hours to minimize data loss.
- In the event of a file deletion, you must be able to perform instant recoveries from snapshots for files deleted within the last 7 days.
- Backups must be resilient to zone-level outages.
- Backups older than 90 days must be automatically moved to a cost-effective archive storage tier.
Which two configurations should you include in the backup design? (Select two.)
- Configure a Recovery Services vault with Zone-Redundant Storage (ZRS) redundancy.Answer
- Create an Enhanced backup policy with a schedule of every 4 hours and instant restore retention set to 7 days.Answer
- CCreate a Standard backup policy with a schedule of every 4 hours and instant restore retention set to 7 days.
- DConfigure a Recovery Services vault with Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) redundancy.
- EConfigure a Backup vault with Zone-Redundant Storage (ZRS) redundancy.
Answer
Configure a Recovery Services vault with Zone-Redundant Storage (ZRS) redundancy and create an Enhanced backup policy with a schedule of every 4 hours and instant restore retention set to 7 days.
To design a zone-resilient backup for Trusted Launch VMs with a 4-hour frequency, 7-day instant restore capability, and archive support, you must use a Recovery Services vault configured with Zone-Redundant Storage (ZRS) and apply an Enhanced backup policy.
