Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
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.
Azure Files offers fully managed file shares in the cloud that are accessible via the industry standard Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. Azure file shares can be mounted concurrently by cloud or on-premises deployments of Windows, Linux, and macOS. Additionally, Azure file shares can be cached on Windows
Servers with Azure File Sync for fast access near where the data is being used.
Azure file shares can be used to:
Replace or supplement on-premises file servers:
Azure Files can be used to completely replace or supplement traditional on-premises file servers or NAS devices. Popular operating systems such as Windows, macOS, and Linux can directly mount Azure file shares wherever they are in the world. Azure file shares can also be replicated with Azure File Sync to Windows
Servers, either on-premises or in the cloud, for performance and distributed caching of the data where it's being used.

Trick question, the requirement is to restore the FILES, not the server, so the solution is adequate and the answer provided correct... i was fooled too ;-)

This applies for a lot of the other questions as well, the files are able to be recovered since they are indeed stored on Azure :)

Azure Storage Sync does not support anythig beside NTFS. But even then not ALL files are preserved, see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/file-sync/file-sync-planning Hence I bet for B - No. If you want to preserve all files use MARS.
