Microsoft Azure Administrator — Question 31

Your company's Azure subscription includes Azure virtual machines (VMs) that run Windows Server 2016.
One of the VMs is backed up every day using Azure Backup Instant Restore.
When the VM becomes infected with data encrypting ransomware, you decide to recover the VM's files.
Which of the following is TRUE in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. You can only recover the files to the infected VM.
• B. You can recover the files to any VM within the company's subscription.
• C. You can only recover the files to a new VM.
• D. You will not be able to recover the files.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because Azure Backup allows you to restore files to any VM within the same subscription, providing flexibility in recovery options. Option A is incorrect as it limits recovery to the infected VM, while option C incorrectly states that files can only be restored to a new VM. Option D is also wrong since recovery is possible.
