Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question
You are an Azure administrator for Contoso Ltd. You have a Windows Server virtual machine named VM1 running in Azure. VM1 is backed up daily using Azure Backup with the default backup policy. VM1 experiences data corruption, and you need to restore a single file from the backup taken two days ago. What should you do first?
Restore the entire VM1 to a new virtual machine.
Use Azure Backup to initiate a file recovery, which mounts the recovery point as a disk on VM1.
Use Azure Storage Explorer to access the backup and retrieve the file.
Use the Azure portal to create a snapshot of VM1 and extract the file.
To restore individual files from a VM backup, you should use Azure Backup to initiate a file recovery. This process allows you to browse and restore files and folders from a recovery point without restoring the entire VM. Azure Backup mounts the recovery point as a disk on VM1, enabling you to access and copy the required files.
Restoring the entire VM to a new virtual machine is unnecessary when only a single file needs to be restored, and it is more time-consuming.
Creating a snapshot of VM1 does not help in this situation because the current VM is already corrupted, and snapshots only capture the current state.
Azure Storage Explorer cannot access Azure Backup recovery points directly; it is used to manage Azure Storage resources, not to retrieve files from VM backups.
