Question 1
Wingtip Toys must create the vault used for Azure VM backup and knows the protected VMs are all in East US. What should the Azure administrator configure? Choose ONE.
- Create a Recovery Services vault in the Azure VM region and configure Azure VM backup
- Create a Backup vault and configure Azure Disk Backup
- Create or update an Azure Backup policy with the required schedule and retention
- Enable Azure Site Recovery replication to the secondary region and configure the target resources
Correct Answer: A
Correct Answer
Answer A is correct because Recovery Services vaults manage recovery points and backup operations for supported workloads such as Azure virtual machines. For Azure VM backup, the vault used to protect the workload must be in the same region as the protected data source. The key requirement is to protect Azure virtual machines with the Azure VM backup workflow in the same Azure region as the VMs. That is the best fit here.
Incorrect Answers
Answer B is incorrect because Azure Disk Backup is managed through a Backup vault and uses incremental snapshots in the operational tier. It protects managed disks without requiring the Azure VM backup workflow in a Recovery Services vault. Here the administrator must protect Azure virtual machines with the Azure VM backup workflow in the same Azure region as the VMs. This misses the scenario’s key constraint.
Answer C is incorrect because Azure Backup policies control scheduled backup frequency and recovery-point retention so protected workloads follow a consistent recovery policy. The deciding need is to protect Azure virtual machines with the Azure VM backup workflow in the same Azure region as the VMs. That does not meet the deciding constraint.
Answer D is incorrect because Azure Site Recovery continuously replicates protected workloads to the configured recovery location and orchestrates recovery. Azure-to-Azure disaster recovery requires replication and target-region settings before a regional outage occurs. Operationally, the team must protect Azure virtual machines with the Azure VM backup workflow in the same Azure region as the VMs. This solves a different Azure problem.

Answer B is correct because Azure Backup reports use diagnostic data from Recovery Services vaults or Backup vaults sent to a Log Analytics workspace. After data starts flowing, the reporting experience can analyze backup jobs, items, usage, and protection trends across the configured scope. Here the administrator must provide centralized reporting from vault diagnostic data and operational alerts for backup or Site Recovery failures. This directly implements the requested outcome.
Answer E is correct because Azure Backup and Site Recovery integrate with Azure Monitor built-in alerts for operational and security conditions. These alerts provide centralized monitoring and can be connected to action groups for notification and automation. The requested outcome is to provide centralized reporting from vault diagnostic data and operational alerts for backup or Site Recovery failures. That is the best fit here.
Incorrect Answers
Answer A is incorrect because Azure Backup policies control scheduled backup frequency and recovery-point retention so protected workloads follow a consistent recovery policy. The key requirement is to provide centralized reporting from vault diagnostic data and operational alerts for backup or Site Recovery failures. This misses the scenario’s key constraint.
Answer C is incorrect because Azure Backup can run an additional backup on demand so administrators have a recent recovery point before an upgrade or configuration change. Here the administrator must provide centralized reporting from vault diagnostic data and operational alerts for backup or Site Recovery failures. That does not meet the deciding constraint.
Answer D is incorrect because Azure VM restore can create a new VM, restore disks for customized deployment, or in supported scenarios replace existing disks. The selected recovery point provides the protected disk state used by the restore workflow. The deciding need is to provide centralized reporting from vault diagnostic data and operational alerts for backup or Site Recovery failures. This solves a different Azure problem.
