AZ-104 Certification Practice Question #199

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

In Azure Backup, a Recovery Services Vault (Vault1) can only back up resources (virtual machines) that reside in the same geographic region as the vault. Because Vault1 is located in the West Europe region, it can only protect VMs located in West Europe. This includes VM1, VM3, VMA, and VMC. The other virtual machines (VM2 and VMB) are in the North Europe region and cannot be backed up to Vault1. There is no restriction regarding Resource Group boundaries, allowing all West Europe VMs to be protected regardless of their resource group.
