Your network contans one active directory domain named contoso.com.
The domain contains two servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server 2012 R2.
You perform daily backups of the data on Server1 to microsoft azure.
You need to restore the data from the 1st backup of Server1 to Server2.
What should you do first?
A.
On Server2, install the azure backup agent.
B.
In the domain, add server1 to the backup operators group.
C.
From the azure management portal, modify the configuration of the backup vault.
D.
On Server2, install the windows server backup feature.
This is a new one.
Not sure about the answer.
It appears that if you install the Azure Backup Agent it will automatically install the Server Backup feature as well, so the Server Backup feature does not have to be installed prior. The Azure backup agent is needed as you need to register Server2 with Azure. To restore a backup from another server, you need the vault credential (that is the vault that stores the backup of Server1). Once authenticated with the vault, you can choose a date to restore the backup. I saw the last part on a youtube video which i cant find anymore.
My guess is that the answer is A.
I agree with Paul, the answer can only be A.
A) Assuming you have the credentials for the vault.

Well, we don’t have the credentials. So it’s C. First we need the credentials to be able to acces the data in the Vault.
And why shouldn’t we have the credentials?
We can use the same credentials provided for Server1, or download them again from Azure.
Answer is A.
answer is A
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/backup-azure-restore-windows-server/#recover-to-an-alternate-machine
“2 – Ensure that the Target machine and the Source machine are registered to the same backup vault.”
Now i’m unsure about the answer, you do need a azure backup agent, which is provided with answer A, but C is also correct as you need both servers to be registered on the same backup vault, and that’s not stated on the question.
Think i’ll go with answer A in this case.
i think the answer is c
the backup vault should be configured first
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/backup-configure-vault/
The vault is already configured:
You perform daily backups of the data on Server1 to microsoft azure.
No *modification* is needed to the vault config, you would just need to download the credential file from the management portal.
A. makes more sense.
@mslover
The vault is configured to Server1. The question does not says if Server2 is registered to use vault.
So, I need to configure the vault prior to use Server2, and then install Azure Agent. Answer is ‘C’.
Before you can modify backup vault you need to register server on one. Server registration is a part of Azure agent installation.

My answer is A.
Correct Answer A
It appears that if you install the Azure Backup Agent it will automatically install the Server Backup feature as well, so the Server Backup feature does not
have to be installed prior.
The Azure backup agent is needed as you need to register Server2 with Azure.
To restore a backup from another server, you need the vault credential (that is the vault that stores the backup of Server1).
Once authenticated with the vault, you can choose a date to restore the backup.
