[All AZ-305 Questions]

DRAG DROP -
Your company identifies the following business continuity and disaster recovery objectives for virtual machines that host sales, finance, and reporting applications in the company's on-premises data center:
✑ The sales application must be able to fail over to a second on-premises data center.
✑ The reporting application must be able to recover point-in-time data at a daily granularity. The RTO is eight hours.
✑ The finance application requires that data be retained for seven years. In the event of a disaster, the application must be able to run from Azure. The recovery time objective (RTO) is 10 minutes.
You need to recommend which services meet the business continuity and disaster recovery objectives. The solution must minimize costs.
What should you recommend for each application? To answer, drag the appropriate services to the correct applications. Each service may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Suggested Answer:
Box 1: Azure Site Recovery -

Azure Site Recovery -
Coordinates virtual-machine and physical-server replication, failover, and fullback.
DR solutions have low Recovery point objectives; DR copy can be behind by a few seconds/minutes.
DR needs only operational recovery data, which can take hours to a day. Using DR data for long-term retention is not recommended because of the fine-grained data capture.
Disaster recovery solutions have smaller Recovery time objectives because they are more in sync with the source.
Remote monitor the health of machines and create customizable recovery plans.
Box 2: Azure Site Recovery and Azure Backup
Backup ensures that your data is safe and recoverable while Site Recovery keeps your workloads available when/if an outage occurs.

Box 3: Azure Backup only -

Azure Backup -
Backs up data on-premises and in the cloud
Have wide variability in their acceptable Recovery point objective. VM backups usually one day while database backups as low as 15 minutes.
Backup data is typically retained for 30 days or less. From a compliance view, data may need to be saved for years. Backup data is ideal for archiving in such instances.
Because of a larger Recovery point objective, the amount of data a backup solution needs to process is usually much higher, which leads to a longer Recovery time objective.

The given answer is correct. They put Finance and Reporting in reversed order in question, they may confuse people like me during exam

Took the AZ-305 on 12/7 and passed with a 935 only using this question bank (I have the Contributor access). I did not use AZ-304 or any other question bank. This question was on my exam and the two are reversed on the exam as well! This warning literally saved me on this.

Sales: ASR only Finance: ASR and Azure Backup Reporting: Azure Backup only https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/site-recovery/site-recovery-overview#what-does-site-recovery-provide On-premises VM replication - You can replicate on-premises VMs and physical servers to Azure, or to a secondary on-premises datacenter. Replication to Azure eliminates the cost and complexity of maintaining a secondary datacenter. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/about-azure-vm-restore#concepts Recovery Point (also known as Restore Point): A recovery point is a copy of the original data that's being backed up.

Correct. Azure Backup delivers these key benefits: Offload on-premises backup: Azure Backup offers a simple solution for backing up your on-premises resources to the cloud. Get short and long-term backup without the need to deploy complex on-premises backup solutions. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-overview As an organization, you need to adopt a business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) strategy that keeps your data safe, and your apps and workloads online, when planned and unplanned outages occur. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/site-recovery/site-recovery-overview
