Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question

You are designing a disaster-recovery strategy for an Azure virtual machine that hosts a mission-critical SQL Server 2022 instance. The VM is deployed in the East US region. The business requires that, in the event of a complete regional outage, the VM (including its operating system and application data) can be made available in the paired region within two hours, with no more than 15 minutes of data loss. The solution must minimize ongoing administrative effort and must not rely on custom backup-copy scripts.

Which approach meets these requirements?

  • Use Azure Backup for SQL in Azure VM with 15-minute log backups stored in locally redundant storage (LRS) and rely on an availability set for high availability.

  • Set up SQL Server automated backups with 15-minute transaction log backups to Azure Storage and manually recreate the VM in the secondary region when needed.

  • Configure Azure Backup to protect the VM in a Recovery Services vault that uses geo-redundant storage (GRS) and enable cross-region restore.

  • Enable Azure Site Recovery to replicate the VM to the paired region with continuous replication and plan a recovery plan for failover.
