You have an Azure virtual machine named VM1 that you use for testing. VM1 is protected by Azure Backup.
You delete VM1.
You need to remove the backup data stored for VM1.
What should you do first?
You have an Azure virtual machine named VM1 that you use for testing. VM1 is protected by Azure Backup.
You delete VM1.
You need to remove the backup data stored for VM1.
What should you do first?
To remove the backup data stored for VM1 after deleting the virtual machine, you should first stop the backup. In Azure Backup, stopping the backup for a VM will give you the option to delete the backup data as part of the same operation. Modifying the backup policy or deleting the Recovery Services vault are not correct initial steps, as they do not directly address the removal of existing backup data. Therefore, stopping the backup is the correct first step to ensure the backup data can be deleted.
how about to stop the backup first? C:
I recreated in a lab for myself. - I created a vm - created recovery vault - created the backup policy - backed up the vm. - deleted the vm The vm data remained in the recovery vault... Then when you click into the vm backup the "delete backup data" button is grayed out. I have to click the "Stop backup" button first. Interestingly, when you click stop back up, the next page allows you to delete the back up data as part of the same job. 100% you have to stop the job first.
Even I have tested this. We have to stop the backup item first.
C is correct, on stop you decide what to do with the data (keep/remove)
Deleting the VM does not delete the backup. Azure will still attempt to backup the deleted VM but the backup will fail as the target will be missing and is still registered to the recovery vault. The backup needs to be stopped and then after that the already backed up material can be removed/deleted from the vault before the vault itself can be deleted. So C should be the correct answer.
yes you have to stop it first before deleting
The question says that you already delete the VM so, stoping the backup making no sense. It will be no future backup anyway. It asks what you will do for the old data that you backed up already. D is the right answer.
To delete the VM even, you have to delete the backup first, so question statement is also wrong, it should say "you want to delete VM". Answer is C.
Hi all, I have tested this as per the question.. In question it says "you delete vm1". I have deleted vm1 and it got deleted. so the backup data still exists but vm got removed.. second step in the question it say to delete the backup. so you are navigating to recovery service vault and there is no VM any more as per steps performed. There you have to click modify the backup policy --> and then you will get the option to click the associated backups and then you will chose the vm and click stop the backup. so question here is what is the first step for this which is D. you have to click the modify
Please ignore the above command, in the options I am choosing associated item and not modify button and then choosing (stop backup button )
apologice "Answer should be C"
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-delete-vault answer looks like c
yah my self also like that c is correct: if we stop doing backup later we delete that vm
Based on my test, I could delete the VM without stopping backup. But I agree that C is correct to delete the backup data.
No one is asking to delete the vm. the question is to delete the 'backups'
No one is asking to delete the vm. the question is to delete the 'backups'
C is the correct!
The answer is C. First you need to Stop backup and select Delete backup. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-delete-vault
I tested it on azure portal, C it the right answer
C is correct
I believe that C is correct, because in other questions most of the time, we do first stop the backup and after follow with other procedures.
Similar to page 9/15, have to stop the backup first
D is not correct, modifying the backup policy does not allow us to remove existing backups (unless we modify the retention range, but this would be determintal to other protected items). Correct answer is C - stop the backup. Even though the VM is removed, we still need to stop the backup.
stop the backup before removing the backup.
Stop the bckup...this is nothing to do with policy
I did the lab for myself. C is the correct answer. yes you can delete the VM before you stop the backup. The interesting thing is, if you think of modifying the backup policy, there is no relevance as the VM is already deleted. I could understand what should I do with modify policy. :) :)
C is the right answer, you must stop the back up and you can delete the policy after 14 days
The question infers that the backup was already stopped. Hence "You delete VM1" Therefore... modifying the backup policy is correct. No? [ Question Ask: How do you remove the Stored-data for VM1" ] [ Post VM...back up STORAGE.... not During VM operation]
But it says you delete VM1 not the backup data. If VM1 is deleted you need to modify Backup policy to avoid error during backup. As question is about the to delete backup data, we need to stop backup, and then delete the backup data.
Not really, the VM can be deleted but if the backup is still scheduled it will try to execute the backup job - and it will fail. We need to remove the bsckup data, and we cannot do it unless the backup job is stopped. The backup won't stop just by deleting the VM. Therefore, the correct answer should be C: stop the backup.
That's why I answered that we need to stop it. Modify the backup policy is the second action.

Answer C is correct we need to stop back first even after Vm is deleted . I have check this in my environment..!!
Correct is C
Letter D is correct you are being asked to remove the data not to stop the backup.
Stop the backup!
That is one of the errors that you have to be aware. Correct is C.
C stop and backup
I tested in lab, I created the VM, created the backup policy, did the backup, deleted the VM. When I went back to the backup items in my recovery services vault the option to delete backup was greyed out. I can only do the following: 1. backup now 2. restore vm 3. file recovery 4. stop backup I chose stop backup and the message is: Stopping backup and deleting backup data for vmtest1
Tested in my lab. Answer is C
Answer: C. Stop the backup.
Since the VM is deleted(so Backup is already stopped) then we left with Policy Modification only.
How to stop the backup?
In ARS blade click on the backup item inside it click to stop the back up on the top of the blade.
fact that the VM is deleted means backup has already stopped. so next step would be to modified the backup pplicy.
you need to stop the backup is correct.
tested this out. after deletion the backup is still intact and requires stoppage.
That's D. It's also the same question for Azure Fundamentals.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-manage-vms#stop-protection-and-delete-backup-data. Check this link and make yourself clear.
Answer seems correct. It’s not going to be C as that would have to have been done before deleting the vm
you cant delete a vm without stopping its backup?
Answer is C, for those saying is D tell what you going to do with the backup policy?
C. Stop the backup
You can't modify the policy as it may be used by other backups so the correct option would be to stop the backup
D is correct. VM has been deleted, which is the condition. So it means the backup has been stopped. Then to move backup data, what to do? It's the policy.
It's not said "Deleted" It says "You delete VM". Therefore, C is correct.
