Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question
An Azure administrator needs to transfer 15 TB of data from an on-premises data center to an Azure Blob storage account. Because network bandwidth is insufficient for uploading such a large amount of data, the administrator decides to use the Azure Import/Export service to transfer the data on physical drives.
Which action should the administrator perform to prepare the drives before shipping them to Azure?
Use the Azure Import/Export tool to copy data to the drives and encrypt them.
Create an import job in the Azure portal and ship empty drives to Microsoft.
Compress the data into an archive and copy it onto the drives.
Format the drives using NTFS and copy the data onto them.
For an Azure Import/Export import job, each drive must be prepared with the Azure Import/Export (WAImportExport) tool. The tool copies the selected data set to the drives, encrypts the contents with BitLocker AES-256, and generates the journal files required when the import job is created. Drives that are shipped empty, manually loaded without the tool, or loaded only with a compressed archive are not accepted because they were not prepared or encrypted by the tool.
