Zorluk: ZorDesign Azure Backup Solutions

You are designing a backup solution for a fleet of Azure Virtual Machines running a business-critical enterprise resource planning (ERP) application.

The design must satisfy the following requirements:
- Restore operations for backups younger than 7 days must achieve the lowest possible Recovery Time Objective (RTO) by recovering directly from local snapshots (Instant Restore).
- Recovery points must be retained in a Recovery Services vault for 365 days to meet regulatory compliance.
- The solution must allow restoration to a paired secondary region at any time, even if the primary region is fully functional and online.

Which backup configuration should you recommend?

  1. Configure a Recovery Services vault with Geo-redundant storage (GRS) and Cross Region Restore enabled. Define an Enhanced backup policy with an instant restore retention of 7 days and a vault retention of 365 days.Cevap
  2. B
    Configure a Recovery Services vault with Geo-redundant storage (GRS) and Cross Region Restore enabled. Define a Standard backup policy with an instant restore retention of 7 days and a vault retention of 365 days.
  3. C
    Configure a Recovery Services vault with Locally-redundant storage (LRS). Define an Enhanced backup policy with an instant restore retention of 7 days and a vault retention of 365 days.
  4. D
    Configure a Recovery Services vault with Geo-redundant storage (GRS) and Cross Region Restore enabled. Define a Standard backup policy with an instant restore retention of 5 days, relying on vault-tier recovery points to satisfy the low RTO requirement for recoveries between 5 and 7 days.

Cevap

Configure a Recovery Services vault with Geo-redundant storage (GRS) and Cross Region Restore enabled, and define an Enhanced backup policy with an instant restore retention of 7 days and a vault retention of 365 days.
The correct configuration uses Geo-redundant storage (GRS) combined with Cross Region Restore (CRR) to satisfy the requirement of restoring to a paired secondary region at any time. Furthermore, because the low-RTO operational recovery requirement spans 7 days, an Enhanced backup policy must be used since the Standard backup policy type enforces a maximum limit of 5 days for local instant restore snapshots.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the regional resilience and availability requirements.
Since backups must be restorable to a paired secondary region at any time even when the primary region is fully functional, Geo-redundant storage (GRS) with Cross Region Restore (CRR) must be enabled on the Recovery Services vault.
Standard GRS only allows restoration in the secondary region after Azure declares a disaster and initiates a failover. Enabling CRR allows the customer to perform restores in the secondary region at any time.
2
Determine the backup policy type needed to meet the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) requirement.
An Enhanced backup policy is required because the instant restore retention must be set to 7 days.
The Standard backup policy only supports instant restore (snapshot) retention between 1 and 5 days. The Enhanced backup policy supports snapshot retention up to 30 days, allowing the 7-day low RTO requirement to be met.
3
Evaluate long-term retention requirements.
Set the vault retention to 365 days in the Enhanced backup policy.
This satisfies the regulatory compliance requirement to retain recovery points for one year.
