You manage an Azure SQL Database. The database has weekly backups that are stored in an Azure Recovery
Services vault.
You need to maximize the time that previous backup versions are stored.
Solution: You configure a retention policy that is set to three years.
Does the solution meet the goal?
A.
Yes
B.
No
I think the correct answer is yes:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-database/sql-database-automated-backups#how-to-extend-the-backup-retention-period
If your application requires that the backups are available for longer period of time you can extend the built-in retention period by configuring the Long-term backup retention policy for individual databases
I think the correct answer is A:YES
This allows you to extend the built-it retention period from 35 days to up to 10 years. For more information, see Long-term retention.
You need to maximize the time that previous backup versions are stored.
Why play around? just max it to 10 years so no it doesn’t meet the goal.
It’s no. You are right. `”Maximize” means maximum retention policy, in this case: 10 years.
