Exam AZ-103 topic 16 question 60 discussion

its clearly say - Azure SQL databases, means Azure SQL databases and NOT vm with sql. So this one has native backups for 30 days. We need only two 1. Azure file shares https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/azure-file-share-backup-overview?toc=/azure/storage/files/toc.json#how-the-backup-process-works 2. and obviously for VMs so answer is 2

Given answer is correct. Is there a limit on number of VMs that can be associated with the same backup policy? Yes, there's a limit of 100 VMs that can be associated to the same backup policy from the portal. We recommend that for more than 100 VMs, create multiple backup policies with same schedule or different schedule. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-vm-backup-faq

The supported resources for Azure backup are: Azure Virtual Machines (VMs): Back up entire VMs, including Windows and Linux VMs. Azure Managed Disks: Back up managed disks attached to Azure VMs. Azure File Shares: Protect file shares stored in Azure Storage accounts. SQL Server in Azure VMs: Back up SQL Server databases running on Azure VMs. SAP HANA Databases in Azure VMs: Back up SAP HANA databases running on Azure VMs. Azure Database for PostgreSQL: Back up PostgreSQL databases. Azure Blobs: Operational backup for Azure Blobs. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS): Backup for AKS clusters12. So only two policies are needed. One for VMs, beacuse of the 100 limitation per policy, and one for the file share. Aure SQL databases are not supported by Azure backup.

C is right

Correct answer 2 policies. One for virtual machines and one for SQL databases and file shares combined

The answer should be 2, one for VMS and another for file shares. SQL database has a different backup mechanism, a backup policy does not require.

SQL Server in VM and NOT Azure SQL DB can be backed up using Service Vault. Hence it should be 2 (B) and not 3 as the answer.

SQL Server in VM and NOT Azure SQL DB can be backed up using Service Vault. Hence it should be 2 (B) and not 3 as the answer.

Azure SQL DB should have full backup, which allows point-in-time to the latest point of 30 days. So we will need only 2 backup policies.

why not 2 policy then..One policy for VM's (as there is a limit) & one for SQL and File share...U may have to configure the backups 3 times , but policy used can be 2..

yes: 3 is minimum

3,it's correct

Answer is correct.
