Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question

Your company runs a 4-node on-premises Windows file server cluster that holds 100 TB of engineering data, but only about 15 percent is accessed each month. Compliance requires that any deleted or corrupted file be restorable for 90 days. The SAN is nearly full, and management will not fund new storage or complex backup infrastructure.

You must:

  • keep frequently accessed files local;
  • automatically tier cold data to Azure to free space;
  • maintain centrally managed point-in-time backups for at least 90 days with minimal effort.

Which solution meets all requirements?

  • Install Azure File Sync on the file servers, enable cloud tiering to an Azure file share, and configure Azure Backup on that share for 90-day retention.

  • Deploy Microsoft Azure Backup Server on-premises to back up the file shares to local disks and then replicate the backups to an Azure Recovery Services vault.

  • Purchase and deploy an Azure Stack Edge (Data Box Gateway) appliance to replicate file shares to Azure Blob storage without additional services.

  • Schedule Azure Data Factory pipelines to copy the file shares nightly to an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account and rely on soft-delete for recovery.
