Your company's Azure subscription includes Azure virtual machines (VMs) that run Windows Server 2016.
One of the VMs is backed up every day using Azure Backup Instant Restore.
When the VM becomes infected with data encrypting ransomware, you decide to recover the VM's files.
Which of the following is TRUE in this scenario?
You can recover the files to any VM within the company’s subscription. Azure Backup Instant Restore allows file-level recovery which provides flexibility to restore files to any VM within the same subscription, provided it has a compatible operating system and disk configuration. This is particularly useful if the original VM is compromised, enabling data recovery to a clean environment.
After reading the link provided by rawrkadia, and testing for myself, it's clear that Azure Backup Instant Restore is available for all Azure Backup VM's. Even the OS compatibility doesn't apply, like some links say. Test: - I created a Windows Server 2019 VM in Azure - Activated Backup and did Backup Now - Did File Recovery, downloaded the script and installed it in my Windows 10 On-Prem, Azure Windows Server 2016 and 2012. Everything worked, the drives were mounted in every OS, no problem. Note: The script downloaded will only work for the same OS as the original VM: Windows - Windows Linux - Linux
I forgot to give the answer. Having said what i wrote above and considering the possible answers, i would agree with the answer given A. Incorrect answers: B: there could be Linux VM's in the subscription, we don't know:"Your companyג€™s Azure subscription includes Azure virtual machines (VMs) that run Windows Server 2016" C: Same reason as B D: of course you can recover the files
`B: there could be Linux VM's in the subscription, we don't know:"Your companyג€™s Azure subscription includes Azure virtual machines (VMs) that run Windows Server 2016"` - in this scenario (all) VMs run Windows, yes?
All you need to do is google the definition of Includes to understand why A is the correct answer... Includes does not mean all encompassing. It means in short, part of a whole.
Agreed with MichalGr as B mention "any VM within the company's subscription." this could be include Linux VM. Thus A should be correct.
The question says that "Your company's Azure subscription includes Azure virtual machines (VMs) that run Windows Server 2016." it doesn't say that you have Linux machines. The answer A says that "You can ONLY recover the files to the infected VM". that is definitely WRONG as you have other VMs to recovery your files. So the answer should be B." You can recover the files to any VM within the company's subscription"
For the same reason answer C is wrong also because it limits our choice with New VM ONLY while we have other Windows VM in our subscription that can be used for files restoration
A is the correct answer for the simple fact that Azure Backup Instant Restore capability for Azure Virtual Machines has in-place restore that will completely overwrite the affected data. This provides for a cheap and fastest recovery.. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/instantly-restore-your-azure-virtual-machines-using-azure-backup/
Comment; I believe this question is not correctly phrased.
Correct
the answer is B because it clearly said that all VMs are running Microsoft server 2016
Your company's Azure subscription includes Azure virtual machines (VMs) that run Windows Server 2016. Unfortunately it doesn't, it is possibly implied. But it basically says the subscription has some VMs running Server 2016. A is the safest answer. I wish MS would write questions more precisely.
Using the same logic, you can't assume it was a Windows 2016 that was infected.
You don't need to imply since Windows 2016 was specified for all VMs.
Como ele afimar no exercio que o S.O é Ws2016, logo você poderá restaurar o bkp, para qualquer maquina com o mesmo S.O, desta forma excluimos todas as maquinas com S.O diferente.
Does the region matter of the target VM matter?
B is correct
Please be aware that the question asks about the ransomware attack. I dont think you would be able to restore at all after every other file has been encryoted by the ransomware because the snapshot is stored loaclly in instant restore. Correct me if wrong.
According to below, we can restore the files to an alternate VM too https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-restore-windows-server Therefore the answer should be B
This is a different feature. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-instant-restore-capability Backup instant restore is snapshotting. In order to be 'instant' tier you have to be restoring from a stored snapshot vs from the vault. I do not believe you are correct. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/about-azure-vm-restore
In fact, I don't even know if you *can* recover files from a snapshot. You have to convert the snapshot to a managed disk then attach that to a VM.
You can restore file level from snapshot. Azure will mount the snapshot as a disk on OS level, and you can copy the files manually. It's task 6 on following lab guide: https://github.com/MicrosoftLearning/AZ-104-MicrosoftAzureAdministrator/blob/master/Instructions/Labs/LAB_10-Implement_Data_Protection.md
As I understand Here the catch is new VM,any VM, means it can be any non windows OS. So in this scenario the effected os is Windows and only the Answer A related to the windows OS.
But the question specifically says the VMs in your company's subscription run Windows. And answer B specifies any VM "within the company's subscription".
the answer is C. You can only recover the files to a new VM. A. You can only recover the files to the infected VM: This is not true for Azure Backup Instant Restore. It's specifically designed to restore files to a different VM, protecting against scenarios like ransomware infection. B. You can recover the files to any VM within the company's subscription: While Azure Backup does allow restoring files to different VMs, there are limitations. The target VM must have the same operating system and disk configuration as the original VM to ensure compatibility. D. You will not be able to recover the files: This is not true. Azure Backup Instant Restore provides the capability to recover files even in ransomware scenarios.
I am thinking whether it is B or C. But C states that you can ONLY recover to a new VM, it seems not true. So I will go with B, since you can recover the files in any VM within the company's subs as long as it has the same OS, whether it is a new VM or old one, since it says any VM.
Final Answer: C
While you can restore the files to a new VM within the company's Azure subscription, it is not possible to restore the files directly to any existing VM within the subscription. The restoration process creates a new VM using the backed-up data. Therefore, the correct answer C. ANOLAH
B is correct
Given the question statement, all machines are identical so option would be B To restore data, you use the Recover Data wizard in the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) Agent. You can: • Restore data to the same machine from which the backups were taken. • Restore data to an alternate machine. [OS & Versions must be identical] If you have Cross Region Restore enabled on your vault, you can restore the backup data from the secondary region.
Answer: B. You can recover the files to any VM within the company's subscription. Explanation: When utilizing Azure Backup Instant Restore, you have the flexibility to recover the files to any virtual machine within your company's Azure subscription. This feature allows you to restore the data to a different VM, enabling you to mitigate the impact of incidents like ransomware attacks on the original VM. Hence, you are not limited to recovering the files solely on the infected VM; you can choose to restore them to any VM within your Azure environment.
In this scenario, the correct answer is B. You can recover the files to any VM within the company’s subscription. Here’s the explanation: When a VM is backed up using Azure Backup Instant Restore, it creates a recovery point that captures the VM’s state at a specific point in time. If the VM becomes infected with ransomware, you can restore the files from the backup to any VM within the same Azure subscription. This flexibility allows you to recover the files to a different VM if needed, rather than being limited to the infected VM.
Question 34 says "recover" and 35 says "restore". I think the answers given by exam topics are correct.
B. You can recover the files to any VM within the company's subscription. Azure Backup Instant Restore allows you to restore files not only to their original location but also to other locations within the same subscription. This flexibility is particularly valuable in a situation where the original VM is compromised, such as with ransomware, enabling you to restore the necessary files to a clean, secure VM.
B. You can recover the files to any VM within the company's subscription. Azure Backup Instant Restore provides the flexibility to restore files to the original location or to alternate locations within the same subscription. This is particularly useful in situations like yours, where recovering to the infected VM might not be advisable. Option A suggests that you can only recover the files to the infected VM, which isn't the best practice, especially in the case of ransomware infection. Azure Backup Instant Restore allows more flexibility than that. It enables recovery of files not just to the original VM but also to any other VMs within the same Azure subscription.
B. You can recover the files to any VM within the company's subscription. This provides the necessary flexibility and safety required in a ransomware recovery scenario, allowing you to restore to an uncompromised VM.
Restoring involves copying backup files from a secondary storage (backup media) to disk. This can be done to replace damaged files or to copy/move a database to a new location. Recovery is the process of applying redo logs to the database to roll it forward. One can roll-forward until a specific point-in-time (before the disaster occurred), or roll-forward until the last transaction recorded in the log files. Hence A: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/214377/recovery-vs-restore
Everyone is forgetting the word "TRUE" which is mentioned in bold so that you can concentrate on that and think about the answer. Answer should be B only.
A. You can only recover the files to the infected VM. Azure Backup Instant Restore allows you to recover files instantly to the original VM from which they were backed up. This means you can recover files directly to the same VM that was infected with ransomware. The restore operation is specific to the VM from which the backup was taken.
