AZ-304 Exam - Question 206


You have an Azure subscription that contains an Azure Blob storage account named store1.

You have an on-premises file server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016. Server1 stores 500 GB of company files.

You need to store a copy of the company files from Server 1 in store1.

Which two possible Azure services achieve this goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Show Answer
Correct Answer: DE

To store a copy of the company files from Server1 in the Azure Blob storage account named store1, you can use an Azure Import/Export job or Azure Data Factory. Azure Import/Export allows you to transfer large amounts of data to Azure by shipping physical disks to an Azure data center, which is suitable for the 500 GB of files from Server1. Azure Data Factory can also be used to transfer data from on-premises to Azure Blob storage by creating a pipeline with a Copy activity, allowing for secure and efficient data transfer.

I agree that D and E are probably the correct answers, but in practice you wouldn't use ADF to copy files unless you need to do some transformation of those files.

Agree. Only D and E make sense.

Incorrect Answers: A. an integration account Use integration accounts for business-to-business (B2B) solutions and seamless communication between organizations. B. an On-premises data gateway The on-premises data gateway acts as a bridge to provide quick and secure data transfer between on-premises data (data that isn't in the cloud) and several Microsoft cloud services. These cloud services include Power BI, PowerApps, Power Automate, Azure Analysis Services, and Azure Logic Apps. C. an Azure Batch account Use Azure Batch to run large-scale parallel and high-performance computing (HPC) batch jobs efficiently in Azure. It is not used for data transfer/copy. D and E are correct

Further to syu31svc, answers are correct. Link to validate ADF, I questioned it as well as it is known for data transformation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/introduction#connect-and-collect With Data Factory, you can use the Copy Activity in a data pipeline to move data from both on-premises and cloud source data stores to a centralization data store in the cloud for further analysis. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/copy-activity-overview n Azure Data Factory and Synapse pipelines, you can use the Copy activity to copy data among data stores located on-premises and in the cloud.

What is Azure Import/Export service? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/import-export/storage-import-export-service

i think the first option is B than D. The reason is connnector to transfer data at onprem. Voume of data is not huge (less than 1 TB).

my bad, Agree with D.It work for file and folder starts with 500Gb https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/31113/fastest-method-to-copy-500gb-table-from-on-premise.html https://www.examtopics.com/discussions/microsoft/view/14234-exam-az-301-topic-6-question-48-discussion/

While DE technically can achieve the goal, I think in real life you would just use Azure Backup or Azure Databox or maybe just AzCopy
