When you are finished performing all the tasks, click the "˜Next' button.

Overview -
The following section of the exam is a lab. In this section, you will perform a set of tasks in a live environment. While most functionality will be available to you as it would be in a live environment, some functionality (e.g., copy and paste, ability to navigate to external websites) will not be possible by design.
Scoring is based on the outcome of performing the tasks stated in the lab. In other words, it doesn't matter how you accomplish the task, if you successfully perform it, you will earn credit for that task.
Labs are not timed separately, and this exam may have more than one lab that you must complete. You can use as much time as you would like to complete each lab. But, you should manage your time appropriately to ensure that you are able to complete the lab(s) and all other sections of the exam in the time provided.
Please note that once you submit your work by clicking the Next button within a lab, you will NOT be able to return to the lab.

To start the lab -
You may start the lab by clicking the Next button.

The goal is that the new vms are able to be configured quickly for backup, not to actually enforce it by default

Default policy already exist for VM so only change the time and retention range change in the default policy should be enough.

Agree with Ekramy_Elnaggar. Once the policy is created, then its easy to associate the backup policy when a new VM is created. (VM -> Backup -> RSV -> Backup Policy)

Wouldn't this be done in the Azure portal itself? You can specify the backup policy when creating the new backup. Select the schedule for 2:00 (UTC), daily retention for 90 days and untick all other retention options.

i got the idea of create the new policy, but this have to be associated manually for each vm or when you are creating the vm yo have to specify the policy, but is there an option to associate this backup policy Automatically to all de new vms? creating a custom policy maybe and associate this backup policy ?? or by scripts?? helpp!!!

1. Create Recovery Service Vault if not available. 2. Select Backup policy from Manage section. 3. Click add and select Azure Virtual Machine 4. Create Policy by giving policy name, select time as 2.00 and Match time zone as per question. 4. Retention - Assign 90 Days. 5. Select the Resource Group to backup(all new VMs should also be a part of same RG)

Requirement: “can be configured quickly for backup“ Having a new policy under recovery service vault satisfies that. Or even better, applied in the ARM to be referenced.

Azure Backup works on Azure virtual machines without the need to install an agent. It meets the goal of a disk-level backup. Extension OS Description VMSnapshot Windows The extension works with Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to take a copy of the data on disk and in memory. VMSnapshotLinux Linux The snapshot is a copy of the disk. ref: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/modules/protect-virtual-machines-with-azure-backup/2-azure-backup-features-scenarios

we can create a new Backup policy or edit the default one but at the end Backup has to be enabled by selecting the Vault Policy otherwise Vault can not force VMs to use the policy.

for virtual machines running in Azure you don't have to install the backup agent https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-vms-introduction#best-practices to backup on-premise windows servers you do need to install the agent and configure the schedule https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-windows-with-mars-agent

1).- Agree with Ekramy_Alnaggar, the question only say " Recovery Services vault " Task A: Create a Recovery Services vault if it doesn't exist. Task B: Select the Recovery Services vault blade created. Task B.a: In the Getting Started section, click Backup: Task B.b.1:Where is your workload running? drop-down menu, select Azure. Task B.b.2:What do you want to backup? menu, select Virtual Machine, and click OK. Task B.c:Press Backup Task B.c:Policy: Create a new policy Task B.c.1:Daily - 02:00 AM Task B.c.2:Retention range: 90 Days 2).- You can do it inside de VM in Backup section, you'll need to create a specific policy to it(but it's not what they ask). 3).- The Azure Backup agent they talk about in the answer, is an option inside of a windows VM, you can schedule a backup directly for example into a Storage Account, folder, etc.(but it's not what they ask)

create a VM with any config. Once VM created, under backup you can create RSV for daily backup at 2:00 and set retention for 90 days.

go to Recovery services vault, Click on +backup (or you can go to back up policies), select the type, give the time, number of days (90) and save. Nothing else should be left checked. When you create a new backup policy, nothing (weekly etc.) will be checked any way.

Although I dont like to touch Default Policies but the keyword of "can be configured quickly" may mean the exam writer wants us to know the possibility of modifying default policy. Also, what jasonYin said, the script that checks the result doesnt know what name to use and checking the DefaultPolicy name makes more sense.

I would change settings of DefaultPolicy, think about how does the exam itself to tell if our answers is correct or incorrect. People may create new policy with different names, the exam may only check settings against DefaultPolicy...
