How to approach this question
Identify the specific Azure Backup feature that unlocks the secondary region for customer-initiated restores.
Full Answer
A.Cross Region Restore (CRR)✓ Correct
Cross Region Restore (CRR)
By default, if a Recovery Services vault uses GRS, the backup data is replicated to a secondary region, but it is only accessible if Microsoft officially declares a regional disaster. By enabling Cross Region Restore (CRR), you gain the ability to trigger a restore to the secondary region at any time, giving you full control over your disaster recovery testing and execution.
Common mistakes
Assuming that just selecting GRS automatically allows you to restore to the secondary region at will. CRR must be explicitly enabled.
