Your company has an Azure subscription that includes a Recovery Services vault.
You want to use Azure Backup to schedule a backup of your company's virtual machines (VMs) to the Recovery Services vault.
Which of the following VMs can you back up? Choose all that apply.
Azure Backup supports backing up VMs running Windows Server 2012 or higher and certain Linux distributions, including Debian 8.2+. VMs can be backed up regardless of whether they are running or shut down. Therefore, VMs that run Windows Server 2012 or higher, VMs that run Debian 8.2+, and VMs that have been shut down can be backed up. However, VMs that run Windows 10 are not supported for backup with Azure Backup, and the operational state of VMs (running or not) does not restrict their backup eligibility.
Answer : ABCDE Azure Backup supports backup of 64-bit Windows server operating system from Windows Server 2008. Azure Backup supports backup of 64-bit Windows 10 operating system. Azure Backup supports backup of 64-bit Debian operating system from Debian 7.9+. Azure Backup supports backup of VM that are shutdown or offline. Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-support-matrix-iaas
The answer from Copilot Azure Backup supports a wide range of operating systems, including various versions of Windows Server and Linux distributions like Debian. Additionally, backups can be performed on VMs that are either running or shut down. Azure Backup does not support backing up client operating systems like Windows 10. It is primarily designed for server operating systems and certain Linux distributions.
Copilot it's very helpfull but don't think that is God. Often it's wrong. Windows 10 is supported https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-support-matrix-iaas I use copilot too, and it give me the same response that it gave to you. I reported the error and he answer as follow: " You’re right, and I apologize for the confusion. According to the Azure Backup support matrix, Azure Backup does support backing up VMs running Windows 10. Here are the correct options: A. VMs that run Windows 10: Supported. B. VMs that run Windows Server 2012 or higher: Supported. D. VMs that run Debian 8.2+: Supported. E. VMs that have been shut down: Supported, with the backup being crash-consistent. Both running and shut down VMs can be backed up, so Option C is also technically correct, but it doesn’t add new information since both states are supported. Thank you for pointing that out! If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask"
Copilot invents stuff. Don't use it when you need accuracy.
lol what is this?
az900 q
All Operating Systems are supported and it does not matter if the VM is running or not.
B and E are contradictory to each other, whats the point considering these options? ABE are the right options because VM not shut down or shut down will be backed up anyways. correct?
My VM is shut down. Will an on-demand or a scheduled backup work? Yes. Backups run when a machine is shut down. The recovery point is marked as crash consistent. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-vm-backup-faq#my-vm-is-shut-down--will-an-on-demand-or-a-scheduled-backup-work
Correct Answer is All ( ABCDE)
It is clear here that all options are suported.
You can use Azure Backup to schedule a backup of the following VMs: B. VMs that run Windows Server 2012 or higher. Windows Server VMs are supported for backup with Azure Backup. D. VMs that run Debian 8.2+. Certain Linux distributions, including Debian, are supported for backup with Azure Backup. E. VMs that have been shut down. You can back up VMs that have been shut down, although it's generally recommended to back up VMs while they are running to ensure the latest data is included in the backup. So, the VMs that run Windows Server 2012 or higher, VMs running Debian 8.2+, and VMs that have been shut down can be backed up using Azure Backup
Not sure about C, can't I have a VM not been shutdown running an unsupported OS version for the backup service?
My VM is shut down. Will an on-demand or a scheduled backup work? Yes. Backups run when a machine is shut down. The recovery point is marked as crash consistent.
I bet for ABD. Vms that has been shutdown or not is not specific enough those vms could have an incompatible OS. Not all the running or stopped VMs can be backed up only those with a compatible OS.
According to the Documentation ABCDE
Correct Answer: ABCDE
The correct answer is all.
In an Azure subscription with a Recovery Services vault, you can back up the following VMs using Azure Backup: B. VMs that run Windows Server 2012 or higher. C. VMs that have NOT been shut down. E. VMs that have been shut down. Azure Backup supports backing up VMs running Windows Server 2012 or higher, so option B is correct. Both VMs that have not been shut down (option C) and VMs that have been shut down (option E) can be backed up. Azure Backup can handle both scenarios and back up the data of the VMs to the Recovery Services vault. Option A (VMs that run Windows 10) and option D (VMs that run Debian 8.2+) are not in the supported list for VM backup. Therefore, you cannot back up these VMs using Azure Backup. So, the correct choices are B, C, and E.
Wrong, given answer is correct: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-backup-faq#what-operating-systems-are-supported-for-backup- "For Azure VM Linux backups, Azure Backup supports the list of distributions endorsed by Azure, except Core OS Linux and 32-bit operating system. Other bring-your-own Linux distributions might work as long as the VM agent is available on the VM, and support for Python exists."
The correct answers are: B. VMs that run Windows Server 2012 or higher can be backed up using Azure Backup to the Recovery Services vault. D. VMs that run Debian 8.2+ can also be backed up using Azure Backup to the Recovery Services vault. A, C, and E are incorrect. A - Windows 10 is not a supported operating system for Azure Backup. C - Virtual machines do not need to be running for Azure Backup to back them up. In fact, Azure Backup can automatically shut down and restart a virtual machine during the backup process if needed. E - Azure Backup can back up virtual machines that have been shut down, but it is not a requirement for the backup to be successful.
Only server versions of Windows are supported
The question only states "Which of the following VMs can you back up?" so in this case B, C, D, E should be selected but A since that is a client OS.
All.. Azure Backup doesn't support 32-bit operating systems. For Azure VM Linux backups, Azure Backup supports the list of distributions endorsed by Azure, except Core OS Linux and 32-bit operating system. Other bring-your-own Linux distributions might work as long as the VM agent is available on the VM, and support for Python exists.
ARS can backup everything.
AB ONLY D- WRONG - ONLY DEBIAN 8.X and above CE- wrong , their are some VM with OS not supported which is not see link : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-support-matrix-iaas
sorry the correct answer - ABD lol apologies
CE - wrong https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-support-matrix-iaas#operating-system-support-linux
Incorrect. In the very page you linked it says C,E are supported.
Dude literally said VM cannot be running and must be running at the same time like it must be in some sort of anomaly state. Better build a quantum computer if you want to use azure backups.

Answer - All ( Win10 64Bit), All VMs that are shutdown or not can still be backed up Regarding Linux Debian and other flavours of Linux.

read the comment before
ALL -> My VM is shut down. Will an on-demand or a scheduled backup work? Yes. Backups run when a machine is shut down. The recovery point is marked as crash consistent.
Correct Answer: ABCDE
All of them.
Answer is All
All are correct
I think all answer is correct except answer (E) .
All the VMs in the same region and subscription as that of the vault are available to configure backup. When configuring backup, you can browse to the virtual machine name and its resource group, even though you don’t have the required permission on those VMs.
ABCDE all correct
All of them.
C i think
All is right
Correct Choices: • B. VMs that run Windows Server 2012 or higher. • E. VMs that have been shut down. Explanation: Azure Backup can be used to schedule backups of virtual machines (VMs) to a Recovery Services vault. • VMs running Windows Server 2012 or higher are supported for backup using Azure Backup. • Shut down VMs can also be backed up using Azure Backup, hence option E is correct. • Windows 10 (option A) is not mentioned in the supported VM list for Azure Backup. • Linux-based VMs running Debian 8.2+ (option D) are not explicitly mentioned as supported for backup using Azure Backup. • The requirement of VMs not being shut down (option C) is incorrect as both running and shut down VMs can be backed up with Azure Backup.
I found this information: After enabling backup: The Backup service installs the backup extension whether or not the VM is running. An initial backup will run in accordance with your backup schedule. When backups run, note that: A VM that's running has the greatest chance for capturing an application-consistent recovery point. However, even if the VM is turned off, it's backed up. Such a VM is known as an offline VM. In this case, the recovery point will be crash-consistent. Explicit outbound connectivity isn't required to allow backup of Azure VMs. Maybe it can be helpful.
B. VMs that run Windows Server 2012 or higher: Azure Backup supports Windows Server 2012 or higher versions for VM backup. D. VMs that run Debian 8.2+: Azure Backup supports Linux-based VMs, including Debian 8.2 and higher versions. E. VMs that have been shut down: Azure Backup can back up VMs even if they have been shut down, as long as they are not deallocated (stopped but not deleted). Explanation for the others: A. VMs that run Windows 10: Azure Backup does not support the backup of VMs running client operating systems like Windows 10. C. VMs that have NOT been shut down: This option is misleading because VMs can be backed up whether they are running or shut down, as long as they are not deallocated. So the correct answers are B, D, and E.
Windows 10 could be backup with Azure Backup: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-backup-of-windows-10-machines-using-azure-backup/

Everything except windows 10
Correct answer: BDE For Azure Backup with a Recovery Services vault, the following VMs can be backed up: B. VMs that run Windows Server 2012 or higher. Azure Backup supports Windows Server 2012 and higher (including Windows Server 2016 and 2019). These versions are fully supported for backup to an Azure Recovery Services vault D. VMs that run Debian 8.2+. Azure Backup supports several Linux distributions, including Debian 8.2 and above. This ensures that VMs running these versions of Linux can be backed up using Azure Backup E. VMs that have been shut down. Azure Backup can back up VMs even if they are shut down, as long as they are in a stopped (deallocated) state. This makes it possible to back up a VM without having it running, which is useful for cost-saving and backup scheduling
windows client OS is not supported.
I fail to understand, how can you backup to something, that has been shutdown? How is that VM gonna respond?
My bad I failed to understand the question.
OS Support: Windows Server 2012 or higher: Supported. Debian 8.2+: Supported as Azure Backup supports a variety of Linux distributions, including Debian 8.2 and later versions. VM power state is NOT a problem. Azure Backup can back up stopped VMs. The process captures the latest state of the disk(s). So the answer "VMs that have NOT been shut down" While this is technically possible, it is not relevant to the question since Azure Backup works for both running and stopped VMs. The option focuses on whether "not being shut down" is a prerequisite, which it is not.
Actually Win 10 here is not supported as the question does not specify that is 64 bits, as 32 is not supported I would answer BCDE.
Azure does support or not for Windows 10 backup?
It seems that's ABCDE, but for my personal computer & test i use MARS Agent and when my Laptopt is down, backup make an error....So it's different with VM....(may be)....
The correct answers are: B. VMs that run Windows Server 2012 or higher D. VMs that run Debian 8.2+ E. VMs that have been shut down Explanation: Windows Server 2012 or Higher: Azure Backup supports virtual machines running Windows Server 2012 or newer versions. This includes operating systems with official support for Azure Backup services. Debian 8.2+: Azure Backup supports Linux distributions like Debian 8.2 and above. The OS compatibility must meet Azure Backup's requirements. Shut Down VMs: Azure Backup can back up virtual machines, even if they are shut down. The backup process uses Azure's snapshot feature, which does not require the VM to be running. Incorrect Options: A. VMs that run Windows 10: Azure Backup does not support Windows 10 VMs for backup. C. VMs that have NOT been shut down: This is a valid condition for backup, but it doesn't exclude shut down VMs. Both running and shut down VMs can be backed up.
