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?
- 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
- BConfigure 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.
- CConfigure 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.
- DConfigure 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.
