Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To meet the requirements, you specify the daily backup schedule and time (2:00 AM) and weekly backup day (Sunday) in the policy’s Schedule settings. Then, under Retention, set daily backups to be retained for 30 days and weekly backups for 12 weeks. Finally, you must associate the VM with the new policy in the Recovery Services vault so the policy is applied.
- A. Correct.
Correct: You must configure both daily and weekly backups, including the specific time (2:00 AM) and day (Sunday) in the Schedule settings.
- B. Correct.
Correct: You need to set separate retention periods for daily and weekly backups under the Retention section.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Monthly retention is not required by the scenario, so setting 12 months retention for daily backups does not address the requirement.
- D. Correct.
Correct: You must create or edit the policy in the designated Recovery Services vault and then apply it to the VM for the configuration to take effect.
