Exam AZ-120 topic 5 question 1 discussion

Azure Databox for Tape Backups and Azure Databox edge for Images as in the question continuous replication is only mentioned for images and not backups.

you can use storage explorer where the azcopy is built in. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/azcopy-support-in-azure-storage-explorer-now-available-in-public-preview/

That's a duplicated question, and the proper answers are: Azure DataBox & Azure DataBox

as we have databox option for both option now, these are the answers imho:databox\databox

1. Azure Data Box 2. AzCopy as a Programmatic Transfer tool. Please refer : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-choose-data-transfer-solution

1 : Az Databox 2 : Storage explorer ( Create a fileshare -> Click on connect VM it would allow to map this fileshare on your onprem , and then a continuous replication can be done for images )

AzCopy is wrong because we have "You have an on-premises SAP environment." AzCopy only works inside of Azure Storage accounts, meaning you move data inside of Azurehttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azcopy-v10?ranMID=24542&ranEAID=a1LgFw09t88&ranSiteID=a1LgFw09t88-Mem8nvFzGfYWH3H6UZybhw&epi=a1LgFw09t88-Mem8nvFzGfYWH3H6UZybhw&irgwc=1&OCID=AID2000142_aff_7593_1243925&tduid=%28ir__0iqueirz0gkfqmhckk0sohz3wf2xpl2rgtmn1yoo00%29%287593%29%281243925%29%28a1LgFw09t88-Mem8nvFzGfYWH3H6UZybhw%29%28%29&irclickid=_0iqueirz0gkfqmhckk0sohz3wf2xpl2rgtmn1yoo00 So we are left with Azure Databox and Azure Data Box Edge. Difference: Azure Databox goes over the internet Azure Data Box Edge is a pyhsical enviroment shipped to the customer So I will go with Azure Databox due to the "must maintain continuous replication of the images" for images and tape. Copying from tape backup is slow so we have no problem using the internet. Tape backups => Azure Databox File server => Azure Databox

Shall we say, Azure Databox and AzCopy are final answers? Any thoughts

Azure Databox for Tape Backup as it is greater than 40 TB. Azure Databox Edge for Images backup as it requires continuous replication. Also, continuous replication is only sought for Image unlike Tape backup.

I will choose Data Box Edge for both scenarios 50 TBs and 9 TBs - we can not prefer azcopy for TBs data <

The key of this question is continuos replication... only Data Box Edge support this ... look: https://docs.microsoft.com/es-es/azure/storage/common/storage-solution-periodic-data-transfer?toc=/azure/storage/blobs/toc.json

For both the answer should be Azure Databox, as we have a huge volumetry 9Tb and 50Tb, you can't use Azcopy neither Azure Storage explorer to copy TB of data

Databox recommended for data > 40 TB. First is correct and second should be AzCopy

Backup - Azure Databox Files(images) - Azcopy

The solution must maintain continuous replication of the images. -> azcopy https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-ref-azcopy-sync
