Zorluk: OrtaDesign Azure Backup Solutions

You are designing a backup solution for a production SAP HANA database running on an Azure virtual machine. The solution must satisfy the following requirements:
- Retain weekly full backups for 365 days.
- Ensure backup data is resilient to a primary region outage.
- Enable database restoration to a secondary paired region with minimal delay in the event of a primary region disaster.

Which backup configuration should you recommend?

  1. A Recovery Services vault configured with Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) and Cross-Region Restore (CRR) enabled.Cevap
  2. B
    A Recovery Services vault configured with Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) and Cross-Region Restore (CRR) enabled.
  3. C
    A Backup vault configured with Read-Access Geo-Redundant Storage (RA-GRS) to support writes in the secondary region.
  4. D
    A Recovery Services vault configured with Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) and the instant restore snapshot retention set to 365 days.

Cevap

A Recovery Services vault configured with Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) and Cross-Region Restore (CRR) enabled.
The correct configuration leverages a Recovery Services vault, which is the required vault type for SAP HANA on Azure VMs. Using Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) with Cross-Region Restore (CRR) enabled ensures the backups are replicated to the secondary paired region and can be restored there even if the primary region experiences a complete outage.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the required vault type for the workload.
SAP HANA databases running on Azure VMs must be backed up using a Recovery Services vault rather than a Backup vault.
Azure Backup categorizes workloads; databases on virtual machines are supported under Recovery Services vaults.
2
Select the appropriate storage redundancy and recovery configuration to survive a regional outage.
Configure the vault storage with Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) and enable Cross-Region Restore (CRR).
GRS replicates data to a paired region, and CRR allows you to restore backup data in the secondary region even when the primary region is healthy or degraded.
3
Configure the backup retention policy parameters.
Set the vault-tier retention to 365 days and ensure the local instant restore snapshot retention is kept within the default limit (1-5 days).
Long-term retention must be configured on the vault tier, as instant restore snapshots cannot exceed the maximum supported limits (up to 30 days for enhanced policies).
