Answer is correct in case yearly backup is also in the question. If we assumed we have yearly, then the answer will be: - @8 JAN: 5 daily backups ( 1 weekly backup included) + 1 monthly = 6 - @ 15 JAN: 5 daily backups ( 1 weekly backup included) + 1 weekly + 1 monthly +1 yearly = 8 backups

15th Jan is a Friday = 5 daily backups (Monday - Friday) + 2 Weekly (2 sundays) + 1 Monthly = 8 backups

Franpb90

15th Jan is a Thursday, and 1 weekly backup is the same that 1 daily backup. It should be 7 the second answer.

How do you know it is Thursday? No year is mentioned. Also - 8 is the closest answer to 7, so in that case i would also go with 8 :-)

Grimstad

It says January 1st is a Thursday, which would make the 15th also a Thursday.

Box 1 is 6: 5 Daily backups (4 Jan - 8 Jan including weekly backup at 4 Jan ) + Monthly backup (2 Jan) Box 2 is 8: 5 Daily backups (11 Jan - 15 Jan including weekly backup at 11 Jan) + 1 Weekly backup (4 Jan) + 1 Monthly backup (2 Jan) + 1 Yearly backup (9 Jan)

Miles19

correct.

jimmyli

in other words, 2nd box should be 7 which is not included in the four choices. because yearly backup is not mentioned, the correct answer should be 5 daily backups including the latest weekly backup + 1 weekly for the previous weekend + 1 monthly backup

Thomas_L

its 6. We retain the 5 daily backups from January 4th - January 8th. There is a weekly backup on the 4th that we do NOT include in the count because it's already backed up by the 5-day retention period of the daily backups. Then we have a monthly backup on the 2nd, that is outside the 5-day retention period. 5 daily backups + 1 monthly backup = 6 backup points.

nbudummies

Where is the yearly backup? it's should be 7 as jimmy comment.

msidy2020

why does yearly backup run before Jan 8th 2 PM ? it is not even scheduled

Bhuw

This comment should be on the top

XolexHp

I totally dont understand why only 6 - 8 recovery point??? Why we have daily backup, it means that everyday, each day has a point => Then means, from 1 JAN to 8 JAN we had 8 days <=> 8 points?!?! Please help meeeeee

imartinez

Check for retention of daily backup point, in the daily case is set to 5, that means that every daily BK, called recovery points by Azure, oldest than 5 days will be deleted. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-vm-backup-faq

XolexHp

Thank you, imartinez, understood

Otijames

I don't understand why you all start counting the daily retention period from 4th..is it not to be counted from the 1st jan? Pleaseeee help me here??

mlantonis

Correct Answer: Box 1: 6 5 latest daily recovery points, which includes the weekly backup from the previous Sunday, plus the monthly recovery point. 8th January = 5 daily backups (1 weekly backup included) + 1 Monthly = 6 backups Box 2: 8 5 latest daily recovery points, plus two weekly backups, plus the monthly recovery point. 15th January is a Friday = 5 daily backups (Monday - Friday) + 2 Weekly (2 Sundays) + 1 Monthly = 8 backups

Jose

The answer is correct, but the explanation is not because 15th January is Thursday. So: 5 daily backups (11th Sunday weekly backup included) + 1 weekly backup (4th Sunday) + 1 Monthly + 1 Yearly = 8 backups Box 2: 8.

itgg11

Jose you are spot on. mlantonis missed a yearly backup on 09.01. 6 and 8 recovery points still.

op22233

Perfect, mlantonis made that mistake, but the answer still correct.

cloudera

8th January = 5 daily backups. How did we come up with 5 days? On the question, I can't see any description that says backups only happen on the weekdays. So backups Mon-Sunday be 7 backups + 1 weekly + 1 Monthly = 9 backups. What am I missing here? Can someone explain to me? Thanks

Grimstad

Daily backups are only retained for 5 days, so you will only have a maximum of 5 daily backups. Monday-Friday doesn't make any sense to me - whether it's a weekday or not is irrelevant.

Henryjb3

Why is the 1 weekly backup included in box 1 then not included in box 2?

Otijames

But the month started on the 2nd and the daily starts counting from the 1st - 5th so it should be 1. 4 daily + 1 daily/weekly/monthly = 5 2. 4 daily + 1 daily/weekly/monthly + 1 yearly =7

SgtDumitru

Is important to be careful what this question is asking: Recovery Points or Backups ? 1 recovery point can be used for multiple backups, which means that if a Weekly RP & Daily RP overlaps, there will be only 1 RP but 2 Backups. Box 1: 5 Daily RP (4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Jan) 0 Weekly RP (4 Jan is already present in Daily RP, so no new RP is added) 1 Monthly RP (2 Jan) TOTAL: 6 RP Box 2: 5 Daily RP (11, 12, 13, 14, 15 Jan) 1 Weekly RP (4 Jan; 11 Jan is already present in Daily RP) 1 Monthly RP (2 Jan) 1 Yearly RP (9 Jan) TOTAL: 8 RP

WeepingMaplte

This correct.

Thanks a lot for the simple explanation.

MonkeyIntelligence

you need to be an effin mathematician to solve this. why is this even a question?

Bloodygeek

Answer is correct. Box 1 on 8 JAN Had 5 daily backups. 4,5,6,7,8 JAN 1 weekly backup. However, 4 JAN was a Sunday. The time of weekly backup is the same as the daily backup. So this does not count 1 Monthly backup 2 JAN. No Yearly backup as it only starts at 9 JAN. In total, it had 5+1=6 backups. Box 2 on 15 JAN Had 5 daily backups. 11,12,13,14,15 JAN 2 weekly backup. However, 11 JAN was a Sunday covered by daily backup for 5 days retention. The time of weekly backup is the same as the daily backup. So there was only 1 valid weekly backup. 1 Monthly backup 2 JAN. 1 Yearly backup 9 JAN. In total, it had 5+1+1+1=8 backups.

i hated this question, it came in my exam 25/9/2023. have no idea whats the right solution, good luck to all

Superego

For Box 1: 6 Date Daily Backup Weekly Backup Monthly Backup Thursday Jan-1 N (Deleted) Friday 2 N (Deleted) Y (A) Saturday 3 N (Deleted) Sunday 4 Y (B) Y (B) Monday 5 Y (C) Tuesday 6 Y (D) Wednesday 7 Y (E) Thursday 8(14:00) Y (F) A-B-C-D-E-F 6 copies. Daily backup and weekly backup on Jan-4 is the same copy (B)

WeepingMaplte

Box 2: Will be 8. Reason is the retention of weekly and monthly backup points.

So the puzzle , starting 1 Jan (Thursday ) till 15 Jan (Thursday) -- will have Daily backups , and on Sunday there will be Weekly backup as well at 2.00AM , Monthly every 2 day of Month and on 9 Jan yearly on 8 Jan (Thrs) at 2.00 AM - we see , daily backup of [ Wed (7), Tues (6) , Mon (5),Sun(4)(weekly) , Sat (3) = 5 ] and Monthly Friday(2) === so a total 6 [ Fri(2) , Thrs (1) are not retained and Fri(9) yearly did not happen yet ] on 15 Jan (Thrs) --we See Dailys for [14(Wed)+13(Tue)+12(Mon)+11(Sun)+10(Sat) = 5 ] + Weekly on Sundays [4 (Sun) = 1] + [Monthly on 2(Friday) =1 ] + [yearly on 9 (Fri) =1] = 8

01111010

On Jan 8th: 5 daily + 1 monthly (on 2nd Jan) = 6 backups On Jan 15th: 5 daily + 1 monthly (on2nd Jan) + 1wekly (4th Jan) + 1 Yearly (9th Jan) =8 backups.

how are we suppose to do this in our mind in exam? I have the online exam tomorrow, no pen paper allowed.. any tips?

bobothewiseman

Jan 1 - 4 = 1 weekly backup Jan 5 - 8 = 4 daily backup Jan 2. = 1 monthly backup Answer is 6 Jan 1 - 4 = 1 weekly backup Jan 5- 11 = 1 weekly back up Jan 12-15= 4 daily backups Jan 2. = 1 monthly backup Jan 9. = 1 yearly backup Answer is 8

tashakori

Given answer is correct

I see someone asking why the first week's backup starts from the 4th. I was also initially confused by this. In fact, the 'Retention of daily backup point' refers to how many days of backups you can retain. Therefore, the logic is on 8th, you can only retain the backups from the 4th to the 8th, as the daily backups before the 3rd would have already been automatically deleted.

tccrew

Can someone explain to me why the weekly backup should be included in the 5 daily backups for 8 Jan?

MOSES3009

the misleading thing here is that the weekly, monthly and even the yearly backup starting same hour, so are overlapping with the daily one

Frank_2022

Box 1: 6 5 latest daily recovery points, which includes the weekly backup from the previous Sunday, plus the monthly recovery point. 8th January = 5 daily backups (1 weekly backup included) + 1 Monthly = 6 backups Box 2: 8 5 daily backups (11th Sunday weekly backup included) + 1 weekly backup (4th Sunday) + 1 Monthly + 1 Yearly = 8 backups
