I think its D. the B options needs you to shutdown the VM first, causing downtime. We must minimize downtime. Ref: https://petri.com/restore-an-azure-virtual-machines-disks-from-backup/

NOT Option D, "Restore VM1 by using the Create new restore configuration option," may not be the best option because it creates a new virtual machine, which means you will have to recreate the virtual machine's configuration and re-provision resources. This can result in longer downtime and more complex configurations. In contrast, the Replace existing restore configuration option allows you to restore the virtual machine to a specific point in time while preserving the existing virtual machine configuration and resources. This minimizes downtime and eliminates the need to recreate the virtual machine's configuration, making it a more efficient solution for recovery.

I think option D is correct - Even if it takes longer to create new VM the question only asks to "minimize downtime". Creating a new VM lets you to not touch the production website while still enables you to restore from backup and test the website independently. Once you are satisfied, it would be a simple switch that result in close to 0 downtime.

What resources need to be re provisioned ? maybe changing IP addresses after switching off the old VM .. ... right ? All other configuration will be preserved on the new restored VM

while i know that most of the questions are from the site, these random bot posts leave a bad taste in my mouth. no person would complete the exam, then come back to literally the 500th question of the dump and post about their results. that's what the initial landing page is for.

Selected Answer: B
Replace existing restore configuration: This option restores the backup directly onto the original VM, preserving its network settings and configurations. Create new restore configuration: This option creates a new VM from the backup, requiring additional steps to update network settings, DNS, and other configurations to resume production service.

Should be D. Restore VM1 by using the Create new restore configuration option - This option allows you to restore the VM to a new instance without affecting the current running VM. Once the restoration is successful, you can redirect traffic or swap the VMs to ensure minimal downtime. This approach provides a safer way to verify the restored VM before making it live.

Let's break this down. Since RSV1 retains daily backups for 14 days, you have a backup from eight days ago. To minimize downtime, you should avoid deleting or deallocating VM1 first. The correct initial step to recover VM1 to a point eight days ago would be: D. Restore VM1 by using the Create new restore configuration option. This way, you can restore VM1 to the desired state without affecting the existing VM's configuration.

The correct answer is D. Restore VM1 by using the Create new restore configuration option. To minimize downtime, you should restore VM1 to a new configuration, rather than replacing the existing one. This approach allows you to keep the current VM1 running while restoring the earlier version. Here's why the other options are not the best fit: A. Deallocating VM1 would shut it down, causing downtime. B. Replacing the existing restore configuration would overwrite the current VM1, also causing downtime. C. Deleting VM1 would result in data loss and is not a suitable option for recovery. By choosing option D, you can restore VM1 to a point eight days ago without interrupting the current VM1, minimizing downtime.

Selected Answer: B
In this scenario, where you need to recover VM1 to a point eight days ago while minimizing downtime, the appropriate action would be to choose the "Replace existing" option. Here's why: Recovery Point: The requirement is to recover VM1 to a point eight days ago. Since the daily backups retain data for 14 days, there should be a backup available from around eight days ago. Minimize Downtime: Choosing the "Replace existing" option ensures that the restored VM1 will replace the current VM1 instance, minimizing downtime. This option replaces the entire VM with the backup version, including its disks, configuration, and data. It's typically faster than creating a new VM and copying data back. Therefore, the first step would be to initiate the restore operation and choose the "Replace existing" option to restore VM1 to the desired point in time while minimizing downtime.

Faster for you does not automatically mean less downtime. Option D is correct: even if you spend a full week fiddling with the settings, and in-place restore would take just five minutes, downtime for simply entering a new ip address in your load balancer (for example) would be much less.
