Microsoft Azure Architect Technologies (legacy) — Question 11

You have an Azure virtual machine named VM1 that you use for testing. VM1 is protected by Azure Backup.
You delete VM1.
You need to remove the backup data stored for VM1.
What should you do first?

Answer options

• A. Delete the storage account
• B. Stop the backup
• C. Modify the backup policy
• D. Delete the Recovery Services vault

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because modifying the backup policy will enable you to manage the backup data for VM1. The other options are incorrect as deleting the storage account or Recovery Services vault will not specifically address the backup data, and stopping the backup does not remove the existing backup data.
