You are designing a backup strategy for an Azure environment. You need to back up Azure Virtual Machines, Azure SQL Databases, and Azure File shares.

You want to manage all these backups from a single centralized vault.

Which type of vault should you create?

Answer options:

Backup vault

Recovery Services vault

Key vault

Site Recovery vault

How to approach this question

Recall the supported workloads for the two types of backup vaults in Azure. VMs and SQL require a Recovery Services vault.

Full Answer

B.Recovery Services vault✓ Correct

Recovery Services vault

In Azure, there are two types of vaults for backup: Recovery Services vaults and Backup vaults. A Recovery Services vault is required to back up Azure Virtual Machines, Azure SQL Databases, Azure File shares, and SAP HANA on Azure VMs. A Backup vault is used for newer workloads like Azure Managed Disks, Azure Blobs, and Azure Database for PostgreSQL.

Common mistakes

Choosing Backup vault. The name sounds logical, but Microsoft splits workloads between the two vault types, and VMs/SQL belong to Recovery Services.
