Microsoft Azure Administrator (legacy) — Question 8

You plan to back up an Azure virtual machine named VM1.
You discover that the Backup Pre-Check status displays a status of Warning.
What is a possible cause of the Warning status?

Answer options

• A. VM1 is stopped.
• B. VM1 does not have the latest version of WaAppAgent.exe installed.
• C. VM1 has an unmanaged disk.
• D. A Recovery Services vault is unavailable.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the Backup Pre-Check may indicate a warning if the necessary backup agent is outdated, which can prevent successful backups. Option A is incorrect as a stopped VM can still be backed up with the right configurations. Option C is not the cause since unmanaged disks can still be backed up, and option D is wrong because the status is specifically regarding VM configurations, not vault accessibility.
