Exam AZ-104 topic 6 question 8 discussion

If it's a single selection, I would select D. However, the test result reveals it should be two (C and D). I have tested this in Azure. Prepare 1. Create a Windows VM with size D2S_v3. 2. Backup the VM. Made changes after the backup. 1. Modify the VM size to DS1_v2. 2. RDP to the VM and create a new file. 3. Reset the password for the built-in administrator. 4. Add a data disk to the VM. Restore the VM from the backup. Here are the results: 1. VM size remains as DS1_v2. 2. RDP to VM with the changed password. 3. Data disk is gone. 4. A new file is gone. Conclusion, VM size and password will not be overridden by the restore process. You will need to perform the changes again: 1. Add a data disk 2. Copy the file.

The correct answer is D, i.e., copy the file again. a. You don't need to resize the VM after backup. The latest size will be applicable. b. The latest credentials will work. c. This one is a bit ambiguous. The additional data disk will not be deleted after the restoration. However, you will have to attach it again to the VM. D. The file will be lost and needs to be created again.

D is correct

You would need to re-add the data disk after the restoration, as the backup will not include disks that were added after it was created.

The key word here is Azure Backup, only a 'data disk' can be restored. every other change is not backedup by Azure backup service

The correct answer is C. Add a data disk. When you restore a virtual machine using the “Replace existing” option in Azure Backup, the VM is restored to its state at the time of the backup. Any changes made after the backup, such as adding a data disk, will not be included in the restored VM. Therefore, you will need to add the data disk again after the restoration.

"Copy a file named Budget.xls to a folder named Data" Is copy to a folder, no mention the folder is in data disk. If wehe have the consideration the order the changes, the file is copy before the data disk is added. To restore the VM from the backup you need add data disk.

Read "Replace existing" option from restore options in below article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-arm-restore-vms#restore-options Notice this line "Azure Backup takes a snapshot of the existing VM before replacing the disk. The snapshot is copied to the vault and retained in accordance with the retention policy."

C is right

You need to ensure that all the changes to VM1 are restored. I am the only one saying A? All changes are reverted by restoring backup, but the vm size you need to revert manual!

as usual some questions are so badly formulated, with the purpose to check how crazy you are, trying to understand what IQ test these guys had in mind

this question came in my exam 25/9/2023

Here is a key ... After creating Backup1, you perform the following changes to VM1: ✑ Modify the size of VM1. ✑ Copy a file named Budget.xls to a folder named Data. ✑ Reset the password for the built-in administrator account. ✑ Add a data disk to VM1. File copied before attaching the Disk .We Shouldnt assume the file was copied to that disk attached

Agree with D; https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-arm-restore-vms#restore-options A-C are all retained if replace existing is used as far as I can tell.

Copy Budget.xls to Data.

The correct answer is C. Add a data disk. When you use the "Replace existing" option to restore a virtual machine from an Azure Backup, the entire virtual machine is replaced with the backup data, including the operating system disk and all data disks that were attached to the virtual machine at the time the backup was taken.
