AZ-801 Question #42: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

You have an on-premises server named Server1 that runs Windows Server and has the Hyper-V server role installed. You have an Azure subscription. You plan to back up Server1 to Azure by using Azure Backup. Which two Azure Backup options require you to deploy Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS)? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

Options

• ABare Metal Recovery
• BFiles and folders
• CSystem State
• DHyper-V Virtual Machines

Explanation

To back up an on-premises Windows Server to Azure using Azure Backup, Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS) is required for performing Bare Metal Recovery and System State backups.

Common mistakes.

• B. Files and folders can be backed up directly to Azure using the Azure Recovery Services agent (MARS agent) without requiring MABS.
• D. While MABS can perform host-level backups of Hyper-V VMs, the question asks which options require MABS; comprehensive Hyper-V VM protection often leverages MABS but basic file/folder backup inside VMs can be done with the MARS agent.
