Question

Drag and Drop Question You have an Azure subscription that contains a virtual machine named VM1. You need to back up VM1. The solution must ensure that backups are stored across three availability zones in the primary region. Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order. Answer:

Configure a replication policy.Set Replication to Zone-redundant storage (ZRS)Create a Recovery services vault.Set Replication to Locally-redundant storage (LRS)

Correct arrangement

  • Create a Recovery services vault.
  • Configure a replication policy.
  • Set Replication to Zone-redundant storage (ZRS)

Explanation

To back up VM1 with zone-redundant storage, you must first Create a Recovery Services Vault (the container for backups), then Configure a replication policy (defining backup schedules and retention), and finally Set Replication to Zone-redundant storage (ZRS) to ensure backups are distributed across three availability zones in the primary region. ZRS specifically replicates data synchronously across three Azure availability zones within a single region, which directly satisfies the requirement. The sequence matters because the vault must exist before policies can be configured, and storage redundancy settings are applied to the vault.
