    AZ-305 · Question 33 · Domain 3.1: Design a solution for backup and disaster recovery

    A company uses Azure Backup to protect its Azure Virtual Machines. The Recovery Services vault is configured with Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS).

    The company wants the ability to restore virtual machines to the secondary region immediately if the primary region experiences an outage, without waiting for Microsoft to declare a regional disaster.

    Which feature must you enable?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Cross Region Restore (CRR)

    B.

    Azure Site Recovery (ASR)

    C.

    Zone-Redundant Storage (ZRS)

    D.

    Soft Delete

    How to approach this question

    Identify the specific Azure Backup feature that unlocks the secondary region for customer-initiated restores.

    Full Answer

    A.Cross Region Restore (CRR)✓ Correct
    By default, if a Recovery Services vault uses GRS, the backup data is replicated to a secondary region, but it is only accessible if Microsoft officially declares a regional disaster. By enabling Cross Region Restore (CRR), you gain the ability to trigger a restore to the secondary region at any time, giving you full control over your disaster recovery testing and execution.

    Common mistakes

    Assuming that just selecting GRS automatically allows you to restore to the secondary region at will. CRR must be explicitly enabled.
