- D

Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
App Service backups require specifying a storage account as the destination to store backups. Standard or higher tiers allow you to configure automated schedules, specify backup frequency, and manage storage location to ensure robust data protection for your web app.
- A. Correct.
You must specify an Azure Storage account with a Blob container to store automated backups when configuring App Service backups.
- B. Incorrect.
Using FTP and storing backups on-premises is not integrated with the App Service backup feature, and it lacks the same level of manageability.
- C. Incorrect.
The Free tier does not support built-in backups; you need at least the Standard tier to enable automated backups.
- D. Incorrect.
Backing up locally to the same file system is not a recommended best practice, as it does not protect you from data center or file system failures.
