Microsoft AZ-802 Exam - Topic 7 Question 4 Discussion
Topic #: 7
Technical requirements: Promote a new server named DC4 that runs Windows Server 2022 to a domain controller. Replicate the virtual machines from Cluster2 to an Azure Recovery Services vault. Centrally manage performance alerts in Azure for all the domain controllers. Ensure that User1 can recover objects from the Active Directory Recycle Bin. Migrate Share1 to Server2, including all the share and folder permissions. Back up Server4 and all data to an Azure Recovery Services vault. Use Hyper-V Replica to protect the virtual machines in Cluster3. Implement BitLocker Drive Encryption (BitLocker) on Server4. Whenever possible, use the principle of least privilege. You need to back up Server4 to meet the technical requirements. What should you do first?
Backing up a standalone Windows Server's files, folders, and system state directly to an Azure Recovery Services vault -- exactly what the requirement calls for on Server4 -- is done using the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services (MARS) agent, so installing that agent on Server4 is the necessary first step. Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS) is used for application-aware and Hyper-V virtual machine backups rather than direct file/system-state backup of a single standalone server, and while it can also protect servers, it is not the lightweight, direct-to-vault mechanism appropriate for a single standalone server like Server4 and represents unnecessary additional infrastructure. Native Windows Server Backup does not target an Azure Recovery Services vault on its own without additional agent installation, and Storage Replica provides block-level volume replication between servers rather than the point-in-time backup and long-term retention the requirement calls for. Therefore, installing the MARS agent on Server4 is the correct first step to meet this technical requirement.
