Domain 3.1: Design a Solution for Backup and Disaster Recovery — AZ-305 Practice Question 36

How to approach this question

Know the difference between the older Recovery Services vault (IaaS/On-prem) and the newer Backup vault (PaaS).

Full Answer

Recovery Services vault, Backup vault

Azure uses two distinct types of vaults for backups. A 'Recovery Services vault' is used for traditional workloads like Azure VMs, SQL in VMs, and on-premises servers. A 'Backup vault' is a newer storage entity used to manage backups for certain PaaS workloads, specifically Azure Database for PostgreSQL, Azure Blobs, and Azure Managed Disks.

Common mistakes

Assuming a single Recovery Services vault can back up everything. PostgreSQL requires the newer Backup vault.

You are designing the backup architecture for a hybrid environment.

You need to back up on-premises VMware VMs, Azure VMs, and Azure PostgreSQL databases. You want to centralize the management of these backups.
