AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator Full Course - Azure Backup

Azure Backup is a cloud-based service for backing up and restoring data in Microsoft Cloud. It replaces traditional backup solutions with a reliable, secure, and cost-effective cloud solution. Azure Backup offers various components for different protection needs, supports both short and long-term backups, and provides independent backups to prevent data loss. It ensures data security through encryption and offers application-consistent backups. Azure Backup supports extensive data retention and offers multiple storage options, including local and geo-redundant storage, to ensure data availability and durability.

What is a key advantage of using Azure Backup over traditional backup solutions?

• It only works with Microsoft products.

• It offers a reliable, secure, and cost-effective cloud-based solution.

• It is more expensive but faster.

• It requires no internet connection.

How does Azure Backup ensure the security of your data?

• By storing the encryption passphrase in Azure.

• By using data encryption for secure transmission and storage.

• By limiting access to Microsoft employees only.

• By requiring a password for each backup.

What is an application consistent backup?

• A backup that includes only system files.

• A backup that requires additional fixes to restore data.

• A backup that is stored locally.

• A backup that ensures all necessary data is available for restoration.

What is the main difference between local redundant storage (LRS) and geo-redundant storage (GRS) in Azure?

• LRS stores data in multiple regions.

• LRS is more expensive than GRS.

• GRS is the low-cost option for data protection.

• GRS provides higher durability by replicating data to a secondary region.

Which replication option is recommended by default in Azure for higher data durability?

• Local redundant storage (LRS)

• Single redundant storage (SRS)

• Geo-redundant storage (GRS)

• Cloud-only storage (COS)
