Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question
You manage 50 Azure virtual machines (VMs) that you want to protect by using Azure Backup. All VMs should be backed up every day at 23:00 and retained for 30 days. What is the most efficient way to configure the backups?
Do not use a backup policy; instead, trigger an on-demand backup for each VM every day.
Create a dedicated Recovery Services vault and backup policy for each VM.
Create 50 separate backup policies-one for each VM-with identical schedule and retention settings.
Create one backup policy in the Recovery Services vault with the 23:00 daily schedule and 30-day retention, and assign the policy to all 50 VMs.
Azure Backup policies define the schedule and retention settings and can be assigned to multiple items protected by the same vault. You can therefore create a single backup policy that meets the schedule (daily at 23:00) and retention (30 days) requirements, then associate all 50 VMs with that policy. This approach ensures consistent settings across the resources and reduces administrative overhead. Separate policies or separate vaults per VM would add unnecessary complexity, and ad-hoc backups do not satisfy the requirement for a daily automated backup.
