A company is migrating a business-critical application to Azure Virtual Machines. The database VMs require a robust backup strategy to meet strict operational recovery objectives. The backup design must satisfy the following technical requirements:
- Backups must be replicated to a secondary Azure region to allow restore operations even if the primary region is completely unavailable.
- To support rapid recovery of database files, local snapshots must be kept in the hardware source tier for 7 days.
- Daily recovery points must be retained in the vault for 45 days.
Which backup configuration should you select to meet these requirements?
- A Recovery Services vault configured with Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) using a backup policy of the Enhanced tier with the snapshot retention period set to 7 days.Cevap
- BA Recovery Services vault configured with Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) using a backup policy of the Standard tier with the snapshot retention period set to 7 days.
- CA Backup vault configured with Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) using a backup policy of the Standard tier with the snapshot retention period set to 7 days.
- DA Recovery Services vault configured with Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) using a backup policy of the Enhanced tier with the snapshot retention period set to 7 days.
Cevap
A Recovery Services vault configured with Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) using a backup policy of the Enhanced tier with the snapshot retention period set to 7 days.
The configuration using a Recovery Services vault with Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) and an Enhanced tier policy is correct. A Recovery Services vault is required to back up Azure VMs. GRS replicates the backup data to a secondary paired region to survive a primary region failure. The Enhanced policy tier is necessary because it supports custom snapshot (instant restore) retention up to 30 days, allowing the specified 7-day local snapshot requirement to be met.
