Exam AZ-301 topic 17 question 5 discussion

Actual exam question from Microsoft's AZ-301

Question #: 5
Topic #: 17

You have an on-premises network and an Azure subscription. The on-premises network has several branch offices.
A branch office in Toronto contains a virtual machine named VM1 that is configured as a file server. Users access the shared files on VM1 from all the offices.
You need to recommend a solution to ensure that the users can access the shares files as quickly as possible if the Toronto branch office is inaccessible.
What should you include in the recommendation?

A. a Recovery Services vault and Azure Backup
B. an Azure file share and Azure File Sync
C. Azure blob containers and Azure File Sync
D. a Recovery Services vault and Windows Server Backup

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
Use Azure File Sync to centralize your organization's file shares in Azure Files, while keeping the flexibility, performance, and compatibility of an on-premises file server. Azure File Sync transforms Windows Server into a quick cache of your Azure file share.
You need an Azure file share in the same region that you want to deploy Azure File Sync.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Backups would be a slower solution.

Does AFS which is a Cache provide the solution? It seems A is the better choice.

The question is asking about accessing the shared files, so a file share and file sync is the correct answer. A would be correct if it was asking for access to the entire azure VM.
