Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question

Your organization hosts a mission-critical Azure SQL Database in the Business Critical service tier. Compliance rules state that you must be able to restore the database to any point in time during the last 7 days and also keep a restorable copy of each month-end full backup for 10 years. Management wants the simplest native Azure solution that minimizes ongoing administration and storage costs. Which approach should you recommend?

  • Enable Azure SQL Database long-term retention (LTR) for monthly backups stored in Azure Blob storage and rely on the service's automatic point-in-time restore capability for the recent 7-day window.

  • Protect the database with Azure Backup by creating a Recovery Services vault and configuring a SQL in Azure VM backup policy.

  • Schedule an Azure Automation runbook to export a BACPAC file of the database to Azure Storage at the end of each month and keep the files for 10 years.

  • Create an active geo-replica in another Azure region and use geo-restore and backup retention on that replica to satisfy both objectives.
