Exam AZ-104 topic 6 question 16 discussion

Restore of Linux VM can be only performed on compatiblie Linux client. In my opinion correct order is: Step 1: From the Azure portal, click File Recovery from the vault Step 2. Select a restore point that contains the deleted files Step 3: Download and run the script to mount a drive on the local computer (LINUX!!!) Step 4. Copy the files by using AZCopy (yes, to blob storage and next to Windows 2016)

Watch out for below context: "You need to restore the deleted files to an on-premises Windows Server 2016 computer" Answer would be: Copy the files by using File Explorer. "You need to restore the deleted files to an on-premises computer" Answer would be: Copy the files by using AZ Copy.

Question came in my exam on 28 Feb 2024. Be careful!

this question came in my exam 25/9/2023

Tested in a Lab. A downloaded Python script on a Windows machine crashes with an error "AttributeError: module 'os' has no attribute 'getuid'". The code shows the text: This script can be run on a machine with below operation systems. print("Ubuntu 12.04 and above") print("CentOS 6.5 and above") print("RHEL 6.7 and above") print("Debian 7 and above") print("Oracle Linux 6.4 and above") print("SLES 12 and above") print("OpenSUSE 42.2 and above")

Given answer is correct; See; https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-restore-files-from-vm When at download script stage in Az backup select which flavour of script as per below from url; "Select Download Executable (for Windows Azure VMs) or Download Script (for Linux Azure VMs, a Python script is generated) to download the software used to copy files from the recovery point."

Correct Answer . see link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-restore-files-from-vm

Answer is that it can only be run on a linux client. You cant run the downloaded linux script on a windows system. Ive lab'd this and looked at the python scirpt this would download in this specific example and the python script that downloads refers to os.getuid() and this method is available only on UNIX platforms. In addtion, the script that downloads states in the script itself "print("This script can be run on a machine with below operation systems.") print("Ubuntu 12.04 and above") print("CentOS 6.5 and above") print("RHEL 6.7 and above") print("Debian 7 and above") print("Oracle Linux 6.4 and above") print("SLES 12 and above") print("OpenSUSE 42.2 and above")

On the test!

this one is misleading coz "In Linux, the OS of the computer used to restore files must support the file system of the protected virtual machine" so you cannot restore it to Windows machine. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-restore-files-from-vm#for-linux-os BUT for the sake of answering: - click File recovery - select restore point - download and run script - copy files using file explorer

Linux VM to Windows VM restore won't work as this is what the documentation says, In Linux, the OS of the computer used to restore files must support the file system of the protected virtual machine. Windows doesn't support Linux filesystems natively at least.

Step 1: From the Azure portal, click File Recovery from the vault Step 2. Select a restore point that contains the deleted files Step 3: Download and run the script to mount a drive on the local computer (Windows scripts can be created aswell) Step 4. Copy the files by using File explorer

Given Answer is correct as you are restoring on Windows system Step 1: From the Azure portal, click File Recovery from the vault Step 2. Select a restore point that contains the deleted files Step 3: Download and run the script to mount a drive on the local computer -Windows 2016, when you run it it will download VHD and automatically mount it then you just need explorer to find the files Step 4. Copy the files by using Explorer

Answer is CORRECT https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-restore-files-from-vm Scroll about halfway and see red box highlighting "1 Recovery volumes attached" in screencap, immediately followed by "OPEN EXPLORER TO BROWSE FOR FILES" - nowhere does it suggest azcopy, even for Linux.
