Topic 15 Practice Test 1 covers Azure Backup and Site Recovery for Microsoft Azure Administrator AZ-104 and maps to the objective: Implement backup and recovery. For broader exam preparation, review the Microsoft AZ-104 Exam Dumps. Every option includes focused technical reasoning explaining both the Azure concept and its fit to the scenario.
Question 1
During an operational review at Woodgrove Bank, the team finds that the environment has three production Azure VMs in West Europe and needs centralized scheduled backups with recovery points managed by Azure Backup. What should the administrator use? 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. For this design, the team must 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. The scenario requires the team to 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 requested outcome 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. For this design, 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.

Question 20
At Northwind Traders, the team needs cross-vault Backup reports in Log Analytics and also wants operations alerted when protection jobs fail. Which option best meets the requirement? Choose TWO.
- Create or update an Azure Backup policy with the required schedule and retention
- Configure vault diagnostic settings to send Azure Backup data to Log Analytics for Backup reports
- Run an on-demand backup before the planned change
- Restore the Azure VM from the selected recovery point, using the appropriate VM or disk restore option
- Use Azure Monitor built-in alerts for Azure Backup or Site Recovery job and protection failures
Correct Answers: B, E
Correct Answers
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. The deciding need is to 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. Operationally, the team must 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. For this design, the team must 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. The scenario requires the team to 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 requested outcome is to provide centralized reporting from vault diagnostic data and operational alerts for backup or Site Recovery failures. This solves a different Azure problem.
