The answer is yes. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.sql/restore-azsqldatabase?view=azps-4.5.0 that doesn't have replsce option. The suggested solution is not for Azure DB

"You run the Restore-AzSqlDatabase PowerShell cmdlet for Database1 on Server2." Based on the above statement, the above command will end up restoring backup of the deleted database again. So the answer is (B) No. ???

I agree. Although it is possible to restore a geo-replicated backup w/ Restore-AzSqlDatabase, but the instructions would be missing a step to do so. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.sql/restore-azsqldatabase?view=azps-4.8.0#example-5--geo-restore-a-database

Needs two steps to restore: --Gets the geo-redundant backup for the database named Database01, and then stores it in the $GeoBackup variable. $GeoBackup = Get-AzSqlDatabaseGeoBackup -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup01" -ServerName "Server01" -DatabaseName "Database01" --Restores the backup in $GeoBackup to the SQL database named RestoredDatabase. Restore-AzSqlDatabase -FromGeoBackup -ResourceGroupName "TargetResourceGroup" -ServerName "TargetServer" -TargetDatabaseName "RestoredDatabase" -ResourceId $GeoBackup.ResourceID -Edition "Standard" -ServiceObjectiveName "S2"

Restore-AzSqlDatabase can also restore Azure DB from point-of-time.

NO - steps are missing here, and the cmdlet alone would not satisfy the requirements unless several assumptions are made. Poor question.

What's the right answer here guys? I tried both with the Azure Portal and with Powershell and both works as suggested in the answers. Maybe this questions is outdated

Update: Theoretically it would work with powershell, but I think the clue here is that it says "restore Database 1 on Server 2" which would just restore the previously deleted Database. In the answer with the Azure Portals the correct terms are used. That's why that is right and this is wrong.

No. Azure SQL Database does not currently support cross server restore. The source and target server names must be the same. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/servicemanagement/azure.service/start-azuresqldatabaserestore?view=azuresmps-4.0.0

Sorry, answer is actually Yes. You can do it using the "-FromGeoBackup" parameter. Tested myself.

Exactly. So we may suppose that ony PITR backups exist on server1 and I haven't found information if it is possible to restore PITR on other server with Restore-AzSqlDatabase command.

The answer is A. You can restore database with the given command. To restore a deleted backup you need to run Get-AzSqlDeletedDatabaseBackup before restore. And also to restore from geo redundant copy one have to use -FromGeoBackup as a parameter as well.

A deleted database can only be recovered on the same server. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/recovery-using-backups#:~:text=To%20recover%20a%20deleted%20database,data%20restored%20from%20the%20backup. In order to restore on different virtual server you need to create on first and then restore from latest backup

The correct answer is YES. The Restore-AzSqlDatabase cmdlet restores a SQL database from a geo-redundant backup, a backup of a deleted database, a long term retention backup, or a point in time in a live database. The restored database is created as a new database. You can create an elastic SQL database by setting the ElasticPoolName parameter to an existing elastic pool.

The answer is correct, but not the explanation. In Azure SQL you can't restore a database over an existing one, so WITH REPLACE does not exist. However, the business requirements are not met because there is a step missing, which would be to make the backup from Server 1 available to Server 2 for restoring.

You can't create Backup manually on Azure SQL DB. So, no missing step here.
