AZ-104 Certification Practice Question #169

Question

You have an Azure subscription named Subscription1 that contains the resources shown in the following table.

You create virtual machines in Subscription1 as shown in the following table.

You plan to use Vault1 for the backup of as many virtual machines as possible.
Which virtual machines can be backed up to Vault1?

Accepted Answer

To configure Azure Backup for an Azure virtual machine, the target Recovery Services Vault must reside in the exact same region as the virtual machine itself. Operating system (Windows or Linux) and resource group membership do not restrict backup eligibility. Because Vault1 is located in the West Europe region, only the virtual machines that are also located in the West Europe region (VM1, VM3, VMA, and VMC) can be backed up to Vault1. The remaining machines (VM2 and VMB) are in the North Europe region and would require a vault created in North Europe.
