AZ-801 Question #107: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

You have an on-premises server named Served1 that runs Windows Server. You have an Azure subscription. You plan to back up the files and folders on Server1 to Azure by using Azure Backup. You need to define how long the backups will be retained. What should you use to configure the retention?

Options

• ABackup center
• BWindows Server Backup
• Cthe Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent
• Da Recovery Services vault

Explanation

When backing up files and folders from an on-premises server to Azure using Azure Backup, the retention policy is configured directly within the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent on the server.

Common mistakes.

• A. Backup center is a centralized management experience in Azure for governing, monitoring, and analyzing backups across multiple services, but it doesn't define the retention policy for individual MARS agent backups directly.
• B. Windows Server Backup is a built-in Windows feature for local backups and does not integrate directly with Azure Backup's MARS agent for configuring its cloud retention policy.
• D. A Recovery Services vault stores the backups and holds the backup policies, but the actual configuration and definition of the retention schedule for MARS agent backups are performed via the MARS agent UI/console on the source server, which then applies to data sent to the vault.
