Question

You have five Windows Server 2008 R2 physical servers. The servers satisfy all requirements for failover protection using Azure Site Recovery (ASR). ASR is correctly configured and active. You need to ensure that only 10 minutes of data is lost in the event of an incident by using the minimum amount of effort. Which PowerShell cmdlet should you run?

Why each option

To achieve a 10-minute Recovery Point Objective (RPO) with minimum effort in Azure Site Recovery, you must edit the existing replication policy.

AEdit-AzureRmSiteRecoveryPolicyCorrect

The requirement to ensure only 10 minutes of data is lost directly pertains to the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of the replication. In Azure Site Recovery, the RPO is configured within the replication policy. Since ASR is already active, modifying the existing policy using `Edit-AzureRmSiteRecoveryPolicy` to adjust its frequency (e.g., to 10 minutes) is the most efficient way to achieve the desired RPO.

BEdit-AzureRmSiteRecoveryRecoveryPlan

`Edit-AzureRmSiteRecoveryRecoveryPlan` is used to modify the steps and order of operations during a failover, not the replication frequency or RPO.

CNew-AzureRmSiteRecoveryPolicy

`New-AzureRmSiteRecoveryPolicy` would create a new replication policy, which is not the minimum effort solution when an existing policy merely needs adjustment, and would require re-associating VMs.

DGet-AzureRmSiteRecoveryRecoveryPlan

`Get-AzureRmSiteRecoveryRecoveryPlan` is used solely to retrieve information about existing recovery plans and does not modify any ASR settings.
