Question
You have an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment that contains two Azure regions. You plan to implement a disaster recovery solution for user profiles. The solution must meet the following requirements:
- Users must retain their user profiles if a single region fails.
- Administrative effort must be minimized.
What should you include in the recommendation?
Options
- AAzure Storage accounts that use zone-redundant storage (ZRS)
- BAzure Site Recovery
- CFSLogix Cloud Cache
- DAzure Backup
- EFSLogix with VHDLocations

Why each option
To implement a disaster recovery solution for user profiles across two Azure regions, ensuring users retain profiles if a single region fails, FSLogix Cloud Cache should be used.
Azure Storage accounts using zone-redundant storage (ZRS) provide data redundancy within a single Azure region's availability zones, but not across multiple distinct Azure regions.
Azure Site Recovery is a disaster recovery solution primarily for replicating virtual machines and physical servers, not specifically for managing and replicating FSLogix user profiles.
FSLogix Cloud Cache is specifically designed for high availability and disaster recovery of user profiles by allowing profiles to be accessed from multiple storage locations, including across Azure regions. This feature ensures that users retain access to their profiles even if one region fails, by transparently managing profile replication and access to a secondary storage location, thereby minimizing administrative effort for cross-regional profile resilience.
Azure Backup provides backup and restore capabilities for data, but it is not an active solution for ensuring continuous user profile availability across regions during a disaster.
While FSLogix with VHDLocations can point to multiple profile locations, FSLogix Cloud Cache is the specific feature designed to actively manage profile replication and provide high availability and disaster recovery across multiple storage providers or regions.
