Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question

Contoso runs an Azure SQL Managed Instance in the business-critical tier. Compliance requires the company to be able to restore the database to any point in time within the last seven days and to keep one full backup taken on the first day of every month for five years. The solution must minimize cost and administrative effort. Which approach should you recommend?

  • Use the built-in automated backups for Azure SQL Managed Instance, set point-in-time retention to seven days, and configure a long-term backup retention policy that stores monthly full backups in Azure Blob storage for 60 months.

  • Create an Azure Backup Recovery Services vault and apply a SQL Server in Azure VM backup policy to protect the managed instance with daily and monthly backups retained for five years.

  • Develop an Azure Automation runbook that exports a BACPAC file of the database to Azure Storage each month for five-year retention and disable the service's automated backups.

  • Enable Azure Site Recovery to replicate the managed instance to a secondary region and rely on recovery points for both short-term and long-term restores.
