Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services Questions 131–135 (page: 28)

Updated On: 10-Feb-2026

You have an on-premises server named Server1 that runs Windows Server. You have an Azure subscription.

You plan to back up the files and folders on Server1 to Azure by using Azure Backup.

You need to define how long the backups will be retained.

What should you use to configure the retention?

  1. Windows Server Backup
  2. a Recovery Services vault
  3. the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent
  4. Backup center

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Back up on-premises Windows Server to Azure
Azure Backup helps you to protect a Windows Server from corruptions, attacks, and disasters. Azure Backup provides a lightweight tool called the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent. The MARS agent is installed on the Windows Server to protect files and folders, and server configuration info via Windows Server System State.
(Create a Recovery Services vault
A Recovery Services vault is a management entity that stores recovery points that are created over time, and it provides an interface to perform backup-related operations. These operations include taking on-demand backups, performing restores, and creating backup policies.) The Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent creates an association between Windows Server and your Recovery Services vault.
Note: Configure backup and retention

You use the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services agent to schedule when backups to Azure, occur on Windows Server.
To configure backup and retention on the server where you downloaded the agent, follow these steps:
1. Open the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services agent. You can find it by searching your machine for Microsoft Azure Backup.
2. On the Recovery Services agent console, select Schedule Backup under the Actions Pane.
3. Select Next to go to the Select Items to Back up page.
4. Select Add Items and from the dialog box that opens, select System State and files or folders that you want to back up. Then select OK.
5. Select Next.
6. On the Specify Backup Schedule (System State) page, specify the time of the day, or week when backups need to be triggered for System State and select Next.
7. On the Select Retention Policy (System State) page, select the Retention Policy for the backup copy for System State and select Next.
8. Similarly, select the backup schedule and retention policy for selected files and folders.
9. On the Choose Initial Back up Type page, select Automatically over the network, and select Next.
10. On the Confirmation page, review the information, and select Finish.
11. After the wizard finishes creating the backup schedule, select Close.

HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported)

You have three Hyper-V hosts named Server1, Server2, and Server3 that run Windows Server, Server1 hosts a virtual machine named VM1.

You enable Hyper-V Replica to replicate VM1 to Server2 and set the replication frequency to 30 seconds.

You need to extend the replication and create a second replica of VM1.

On which Hyper-V hosts should you configure the replication, and what is the minimum replication frequency you can use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

Note: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:





Box 1: Server2 only.
Extended (chained) replication: This lets you replicate a virtual machine from a primary host to a secondary host, and then replicate the secondary host to a third host. Note that you can't replicate from the primary host directly to the second and the third.

This feature makes Hyper-V Replica more robust for disaster recovery because if an outage occurs you can recover from both the primary and extended replica. You can fail over to the extended replica if your primary and secondary locations go down. Note that the extended replica doesn't support application-consistent replication and must use the same VHDs that the secondary replica is using.

Box 2: 5 minutes
In Configure Replication frequency screen, note that Extend Replication only supports 5 minute and 15-minute Replication frequency. Also note that replication frequency of extend replication should be at least equal to or greater than primary replication relationship.

You have an Azure subscription.

You plan to deploy a virtual machine named VM1 to the East US Azure region and use Azure Site Recovery between availability zones.

You need to configure the disks on VM1 and the virtual network. The solution must meet the following requirements:

Maximize the availability of VM1.

Maintain the private IP address of VM1 during failover and failback operations.

What should you configure? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

Note: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:





Box 1: Zone redundant Storage (ZRS) Premium SSD
Disk configuration

ZRS for managed disks is only supported with Premium SSD and Standard SSD managed disks. ZRS for managed disks isn't supported with Premium SSD v2 managed disks.

ZRS replicates your Azure managed disk synchronously across three Azure availability zones in the selected region. Each availability zone is a separate physical location with independent power, cooling, and networking.

Note: Generally available: Azure Site Recovery support for ZRS Managed Disks At Ignite 2021, we launched the Zone Redundant Storage (ZRS) option for Azure managed disks. ZRS managed disks provide synchronous replication of data across zones in any given region, enabling disks to tolerate zonal failures. This means that if a virtual machine becomes unavailable in an affected zone, you can continue to work with the disk by mounting it to a virtual machine in a different zone.

Box 2: Two virtual networks and two subnets
Maintain the private IP address of VM1 during failover and failback operations.

During failover, you might want to keep the IP addressing in the target region identical to the source region:

By default, when you enable disaster recovery for Azure VMs, Site Recovery creates target resources based on source resource settings. For Azure VMs configured with static IP addresses, Site Recovery tries to provision the same IP address for the target VM, if it's not in use.
For simple applications, the default configuration is sufficient. For more complex apps, you might need to provision additional resource to make sure that connectivity works as expected after failover.

Your network contains an on-premises Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain. The domain contains two virtual machines named VM1 and VM2 that run Windows Server.

You plan to implement a failover cluster named Cluster1 that will use VM1 and VM2 as nodes.

You need to ensure that Cluster1 can use floating IP addresses.

Which two components should you deploy? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

Note: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  1. Network Load Balancing (NLB)
  2. the MultiPoint Services role
  3. the Network Controller role
  4. the Host Guardian Service role
  5. Software Load Balancer (SLB)

You have an on-premises server named Server1 that runs Windows Server.

You have an Azure subscription.

You plan to back up the files and folders on Server1 by using the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent.

You need to identify to which location the backups can be written and the maximum number of scheduled backups that can be performed per day.

What should you identify? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

Note: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:





Box 1: A recovery Service vault in Azure
Backup location

Azure Backup uses the MARS agent to back up files, folders, and system state from on-premises machines and Azure VMs. Those backups are stored in a Recovery Services vault in Azure.

Box 2: 3
You can schedule up to three daily backups per day.
