After reading the link provided by rawrkadia, and testing for myself, it's clear that Azure Backup Instant Restore is available for all Azure Backup VM's. Even the OS compatibility doesn't apply, like some links say. Test: - I created a Windows Server 2019 VM in Azure - Activated Backup and did Backup Now - Did File Recovery, downloaded the script and installed it in my Windows 10 On-Prem, Azure Windows Server 2016 and 2012. Everything worked, the drives were mounted in every OS, no problem. Note: The script downloaded will only work for the same OS as the original VM: Windows - Windows Linux - Linux

Please be aware that the question asks about the ransomware attack. I dont think you would be able to restore at all after every other file has been encryoted by the ransomware because the snapshot is stored loaclly in instant restore. Correct me if wrong.

I forgot to give the answer. Having said what i wrote above and considering the possible answers, i would agree with the answer given A. Incorrect answers: B: there could be Linux VM's in the subscription, we don't know:"Your companyג€™s Azure subscription includes Azure virtual machines (VMs) that run Windows Server 2016" C: Same reason as B D: of course you can recover the files

`B: there could be Linux VM's in the subscription, we don't know:"Your companyג€™s Azure subscription includes Azure virtual machines (VMs) that run Windows Server 2016"` - in this scenario (all) VMs run Windows, yes?

All you need to do is google the definition of Includes to understand why A is the correct answer... Includes does not mean all encompassing. It means in short, part of a whole.

Agreed with MichalGr as B mention "any VM within the company's subscription." this could be include Linux VM. Thus A should be correct.

Your company's Azure subscription includes Azure virtual machines (VMs) that run Windows Server 2016. Unfortunately it doesn't, it is possibly implied. But it basically says the subscription has some VMs running Server 2016. A is the safest answer. I wish MS would write questions more precisely.

Using the same logic, you can't assume it was a Windows 2016 that was infected.

As I understand Here the catch is new VM,any VM, means it can be any non windows OS. So in this scenario the effected os is Windows and only the Answer A related to the windows OS.

This is a different feature. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-instant-restore-capability Backup instant restore is snapshotting. In order to be 'instant' tier you have to be restoring from a stored snapshot vs from the vault. I do not believe you are correct. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/about-azure-vm-restore

In fact, I don't even know if you *can* recover files from a snapshot. You have to convert the snapshot to a managed disk then attach that to a VM.

You can restore file level from snapshot. Azure will mount the snapshot as a disk on OS level, and you can copy the files manually. It's task 6 on following lab guide: https://github.com/MicrosoftLearning/AZ-104-MicrosoftAzureAdministrator/blob/master/Instructions/Labs/LAB_10-Implement_Data_Protection.md

While you can restore the files to a new VM within the company's Azure subscription, it is not possible to restore the files directly to any existing VM within the subscription. The restoration process creates a new VM using the backed-up data. Therefore, the correct answer C. ANOLAH

Restoring involves copying backup files from a secondary storage (backup media) to disk. This can be done to replace damaged files or to copy/move a database to a new location. Recovery is the process of applying redo logs to the database to roll it forward. One can roll-forward until a specific point-in-time (before the disaster occurred), or roll-forward until the last transaction recorded in the log files.

Selected Answer: B
Given the question statement, all machines are identical so option would be B To restore data, you use the Recover Data wizard in the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) Agent. You can: • Restore data to the same machine from which the backups were taken. • Restore data to an alternate machine. [OS & Versions must be identical] If you have Cross Region Restore enabled on your vault, you can restore the backup data from the secondary region.

the answer is C. You can only recover the files to a new VM. A. You can only recover the files to the infected VM: This is not true for Azure Backup Instant Restore. It's specifically designed to restore files to a different VM, protecting against scenarios like ransomware infection. B. You can recover the files to any VM within the company's subscription: While Azure Backup does allow restoring files to different VMs, there are limitations. The target VM must have the same operating system and disk configuration as the original VM to ensure compatibility. D. You will not be able to recover the files: This is not true. Azure Backup Instant Restore provides the capability to recover files even in ransomware scenarios.

A. You can only recover the files to the infected VM. Azure Backup Instant Restore allows you to recover files instantly to the original VM from which they were backed up. This means you can recover files directly to the same VM that was infected with ransomware. The restore operation is specific to the VM from which the backup was taken.

The correct statement in this scenario is: You can recover the files to any VM within the company’s subscription. Azure Backup Instant Restore allows you to recover files and folders from a backup to any VM in the same subscription[1]. Therefore, you are not restricted to restoring the files only to the infected VM; you have the flexibility to restore them to any other VM within the same Azure subscription.

Selected Answer: C
The answer is C. You can only recover the files to a new VM. Here's why: 1. Instant Restore's primary purpose: It's designed for fast recovery of entire VMs, not individual files. 2. Point-in-time snapshots: Instant Restore creates point-in-time snapshots of the VM's disks, which can be used to quickly create a new VM from a healthy state. 3.No file-level recovery: It doesn't offer the ability to directly recover individual files from the snapshots to an existing VM.

Instant restore can be to new or existing. A is not a true statement bec it states "only" C is not a true statement bec it states "only" D is not a true statement bec you can recover them. B. Is a true statement because you can restore them to any existing servers mentioned the account.
