Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question

You manage a mission-critical Azure virtual machine that runs SQL Server in the East US region. Management requires a disaster-recovery strategy that meets the following objectives:

  • Recovery Point Objective (RPO): 15 minutes or less.
  • Recovery Time Objective (RTO): no more than 2 hours after a regional outage.
  • Retain daily backups for seven years to satisfy regulatory compliance. You need a solution that minimizes administrative effort while meeting all requirements. Which approach should you recommend?

  • Schedule managed disk snapshots every 15 minutes and copy the snapshots to a storage account in another region for long-term retention.

  • Enable Azure Site Recovery to replicate the virtual machine to a secondary Azure region with a 5-minute replication frequency, and configure Azure Backup on the VM to store daily backups in a Recovery Services vault with a seven-year retention policy.

  • Deploy the VM in an availability set that spans Azure availability zones in East US and configure daily Azure Backup with locally redundant storage for seven years.

  • Enable Azure Backup with geo-redundant storage and use cross-region restore if the primary region becomes unavailable.
