Designing Azure Infrastructure Solutions — Question 102

You have an on-premises network and an Azure subscription. The on-premises network has several branch offices.
A branch office in Toronto contains a virtual machine named VM1 that is configured as a file server. Users access the shared files on VM1 from all the offices.
You need to recommend a solution to ensure that the users can access the shared files as quickly as possible if the Toronto branch office is inaccessible.
What should you include in the recommendation?

Answer options

• A. a Recovery Services vault and Windows Server Backup
• B. Azure blob containers and Azure File Sync
• C. a Recovery Services vault and Azure Backup
• D. an Azure file share and Azure File Sync

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, utilizes Azure File Sync to replicate the files to an Azure file share, allowing access regardless of the Toronto branch's availability. Option A focuses on backup solutions, which do not facilitate immediate file access. Option B is not suitable as Azure blob containers are not designed for file sharing in the same way Azure File Sync does. Option C, while it provides backup, does not address the need for immediate file access.
