Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question

You manage several Windows and Linux Azure virtual machines that run on Premium SSD v2 managed disks across two availability zones in the East US region. Your compliance team requires the following:

  • Create daily application-consistent backups with a recovery point objective (RPO) of 24 hours and a backup window of no more than 15 minutes.
  • Retain each backup for 30 days.
  • Minimize backup storage costs by storing only incremental changes.
  • Be able to restore any virtual machine to the secondary paired region (East US2) if the primary region becomes unavailable.

Which Azure-native solution should you recommend to meet all the requirements with the least operational effort?

  • Configure Azure Backup VM backups in a Recovery Services vault that uses Geo-redundant storage and enable Cross-Region Restore.

  • Schedule daily Managed Disk snapshots stored in a ZRS snapshot vault and copy them manually to East US2.

  • Run custom scripts that back up each VM to Azure Blob Storage using VMExport and replicate the storage account to the paired region.

  • Deploy Azure Site Recovery to replicate each VM to East US2 with a 24-hour retention policy.
