[All AZ-103 Questions]

You have an Azure virtual machine named VM1 that you use for testing. VM1 is protected by Azure Backup.
You delete VM1.
You need to remove the backup data stored for VM1.
What should you do first?

  • A. Delete the Recovery Services vault.
  • B. Delete the storage account.
  • C. Stop the backup
  • D. Modify the backup policy.
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
Azure Backup provides backup for virtual machines "" created through both the classic deployment model and the Azure Resource Manager deployment model "" by using custom-defined backup policies in a Recovery Services vault.
With the release of backup policy management, customers can manage backup policies and model them to meet their changing requirements from a single window. Customers can edit a policy, associate more virtual machines to a policy, and delete unnecessary policies to meet their compliance requirements.
Incorrect Answers:
B: You can't delete a Recovery Services vault if it is registered to a server and holds backup data. If you try to delete a vault, but can't, the vault is still configured to receive backup data.

I recreated in a lab for myself. - I created a vm - created recovery vault - created the backup policy - backed up the vm. - deleted the vm The vm data remained in the recovery vault... Then when you click into the vm backup the "delete backup data" button is grayed out. I have to click the "Stop backup" button first. Interestingly, when you click stop back up, the next page allows you to delete the back up data as part of the same job. 100% you have to stop the job first.

Since the VM is deleted(so Backup is already stopped) then we left with Policy Modification only.

D is correct. VM has been deleted, which is the condition. So it means the backup has been stopped. Then to move backup data, what to do? It's the policy.

It's not said "Deleted" It says "You delete VM". Therefore, C is correct.

I tested in lab, I created the VM, created the backup policy, did the backup, deleted the VM. When I went back to the backup items in my recovery services vault the option to delete backup was greyed out. I can only do the following: 1. backup now 2. restore vm 3. file recovery 4. stop backup I chose stop backup and the message is: Stopping backup and deleting backup data for vmtest1

You can't modify the policy as it may be used by other backups so the correct option would be to stop the backup

I did the lab for myself. C is the correct answer. yes you can delete the VM before you stop the backup. The interesting thing is, if you think of modifying the backup policy, there is no relevance as the VM is already deleted. I could understand what should I do with modify policy. :) :)

Answer seems correct. It’s not going to be C as that would have to have been done before deleting the vm
