Exam AZ-104 topic 6 question 23 discussion

I think its D. the B options needs you to shutdown the VM first, causing downtime. We must minimize downtime. Ref: https://petri.com/restore-an-azure-virtual-machines-disks-from-backup/

B. Restore VM1 by using the Replace existing restore configuration option.

I agree that D should be correct, but Microsoft has a similar question on their practice exam and the answer they provide is to overwrite the VM :-( So unfortunately, I have to vote for B as I think this is the answer that Microsoft wants.

Replace existing restore configuration: This option restores the backup directly onto the original VM, preserving its network settings and configurations. Create new restore configuration: This option creates a new VM from the backup, requiring additional steps to update network settings, DNS, and other configurations to resume production service.

CORRECT IS D

Should be D. Restore VM1 by using the Create new restore configuration option - This option allows you to restore the VM to a new instance without affecting the current running VM. Once the restoration is successful, you can redirect traffic or swap the VMs to ensure minimal downtime. This approach provides a safer way to verify the restored VM before making it live.

Let's break this down. Since RSV1 retains daily backups for 14 days, you have a backup from eight days ago. To minimize downtime, you should avoid deleting or deallocating VM1 first. The correct initial step to recover VM1 to a point eight days ago would be: D. Restore VM1 by using the Create new restore configuration option. This way, you can restore VM1 to the desired state without affecting the existing VM's configuration.

Less downtime on new

it´s D

D. Restore VM1 by using the Create new restore configuration option. This option allows you to keep the existing VM running while restoring a new instance, minimizing downtime for your static website.

The correct answer is D. Restore VM1 by using the Create new restore configuration option. To minimize downtime, you should restore VM1 to a new configuration, rather than replacing the existing one. This approach allows you to keep the current VM1 running while restoring the earlier version. Here's why the other options are not the best fit: A. Deallocating VM1 would shut it down, causing downtime. B. Replacing the existing restore configuration would overwrite the current VM1, also causing downtime. C. Deleting VM1 would result in data loss and is not a suitable option for recovery. By choosing option D, you can restore VM1 to a point eight days ago without interrupting the current VM1, minimizing downtime.

B is a better option than D because minimizing downtime is the priority.

In this scenario, where you need to recover VM1 to a point eight days ago while minimizing downtime, the appropriate action would be to choose the "Replace existing" option. Here's why: Recovery Point: The requirement is to recover VM1 to a point eight days ago. Since the daily backups retain data for 14 days, there should be a backup available from around eight days ago. Minimize Downtime: Choosing the "Replace existing" option ensures that the restored VM1 will replace the current VM1 instance, minimizing downtime. This option replaces the entire VM with the backup version, including its disks, configuration, and data. It's typically faster than creating a new VM and copying data back. Therefore, the first step would be to initiate the restore operation and choose the "Replace existing" option to restore VM1 to the desired point in time while minimizing downtime.
