Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
To meet the 14-day recovery requirement without additional backup infrastructure, you need to enable soft delete for Azure file shares and configure the file share snapshot retention policy to 14 days. This combination ensures that any accidentally deleted files can be recovered from snapshots within the configured timeframe.
- A. Correct.
Enabling soft delete for Azure file shares ensures that deleted files can be restored within the defined retention period.
- B. Correct.
Setting the snapshot retention policy to 14 days allows you to recover files from file share snapshots during that timeframe.
- C. Incorrect.
While Azure Backup can protect file shares, it is not required to configure basic file share snapshots and soft delete for immediate file recovery.
- D. Incorrect.
Blob versioning applies to Blob storage containers, not specifically to Azure file shares, so it does not fulfill the requirement.
