AZ-104 Question 104
Single answerYou are an Azure Administrator for Contoso, which uses Azure Files to store critical project documents. After enabling soft delete for the file share with a 14-day retention period, your IT department also requires that teams can restore files to a previous version from a specific point in time. Which additional configuration must you implement to meet this requirement?
- A
Create custom RBAC roles at the storage account level to manage file share access
- B
Enable share snapshots on the Azure file share
- C
Configure Azure Backup to back up the entire storage account
- D
Upgrade the storage account to Premium performance tier
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Soft delete helps recover deleted files, but it does not offer point-in-time file version recovery. Enabling share snapshots on the file share is specifically needed to restore individual files or the entire share from a previous state.
- A. Incorrect.
RBAC roles determine access and permissions but do not provide versioning or point-in-time recovery of files.
- B. Correct.
Share snapshots allow you to create point-in-time backups of your share, enabling file version recovery aside from soft delete.
- C. Incorrect.
Azure Backup can protect file shares, but simply enabling it does not directly provide file-level versioning or recovery at a specific point in time in the same manner as share snapshots.
- D. Incorrect.
Upgrading to Premium tier primarily improves performance and does not automatically enable point-in-time restoration features for Azure Files.
