Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question
You are responsible for backing up several production Azure virtual machines to meet compliance requirements. You intend to use Azure Backup to schedule daily snapshots and retain them for 90 days. Before you can configure the backup policy in the Azure portal, which type of Azure resource must you create to store and manage the recovery points for these VMs?
To back up Azure virtual machines, you must create a Recovery Services vault. The Recovery Services vault is a dedicated Azure resource that orchestrates and stores backup data for protected items such as Azure VMs, SQL in VMs, and file shares. It provides centralized backup policy management, retention settings, and recovery-point access. An Azure Storage account holds general data objects but lacks backup orchestration. Azure Key Vault secures keys and secrets, not backups. Azure Monitor delivers monitoring and alerting capabilities rather than backup management.
