    AZ-305 · Question 34 · Domain 3.1: Design a Solution for Backup and Disaster Recovery

    You are designing a disaster recovery strategy for an application hosted on Azure Virtual Machines.

    The application is highly sensitive to data loss and requires a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of 5 minutes. The Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is 30 minutes. The solution must automatically orchestrate the failover of the VMs, including network reconfiguration and startup order.

    Which Azure service should you recommend?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Azure Backup

    B.

    Azure Site Recovery

    C.

    Azure Front Door

    D.

    Azure Traffic Manager

    How to approach this question

    Match 'RPO of 5 minutes' and 'orchestrate failover of VMs' to Azure Site Recovery.

    Full Answer

    B.Azure Site Recovery✓ Correct
    Azure Site Recovery (ASR) is Azure's disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS). It provides continuous replication for VMs, which easily meets the 5-minute RPO requirement. ASR also features 'Recovery Plans', which allow you to define the exact startup order of VMs and run automation scripts (like network reconfiguration) to meet strict RTOs.

    Common mistakes

    Choosing Azure Backup. Backup is for long-term retention and recovery from corruption/ransomware, not for rapid regional disaster recovery with low RPOs.
