You are designing a backup solution for an Azure Virtual Machine that hosts a critical transaction database. The virtual machine is configured as follows:
* Operating system disk: Standard SSD
* Data disks: Premium SSD v2
The backup solution must meet the following requirements:
* Provide a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of 4 hours for the data disks.
* Support instant recovery from snapshots for up to 7 days.
* Retain weekly backups for 12 months in the vault.
* Ensure that the backup data remains available even if a primary datacenter in the region experiences an outage.
* Minimize storage costs by excluding the operating system disk from the frequent backups.
Which three configurations should you include in the backup design? (Select three.)
- A Recovery Services vault configured with Zone-Redundant Storage (ZRS)Cevap
- An Enhanced backup policy with a schedule configured for every 4 hoursCevap
- Selective disk backup configuration to exclude the operating system diskCevap
- DA Standard backup policy with the instant restore retention set to 7 days
- EA Recovery Services vault configured with Locally Redundant Storage (LRS)
Cevap
The correct configurations are: a Recovery Services vault configured with Zone-Redundant Storage (ZRS), an Enhanced backup policy with a schedule configured for every 4 hours, and selective disk backup configuration to exclude the operating system disk.
To meet the requirements, the backup design must use an Enhanced backup policy because the VM uses Premium SSD v2 data disks, which are not supported by the Standard policy. The Enhanced policy also supports sub-daily schedules (achieving the 4-hour RPO) and selective disk backup, allowing the OS disk to be excluded. Finally, configuring the Recovery Services vault with Zone-Redundant Storage (ZRS) ensures the backups survive a datacenter outage in the region.
