You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2. The volumes on Server1 are configured
as shown in the following table.
A new corporate policy states that backups must use Windows Azure Online Backup whenever possible.
You need to identify which backup methods you must use to back up Server1. The solution must use Windows
Azure Online Backup whenever possible.
Which backup type should you identify for each volume?
To answer, select the appropriate backup type for each volume in the answer area.

I think the answer is wrong. I don’t think azure supports bit locker drive encryption. In the link listed in the description: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/10183.azure-backup-errors-and-events-portal.aspx
The error number 100041 states: “The volume specified for backup is currently protected by BitLocker Drive Encryption. You must unlock the volume before it can be backed up by Azure Backup. Ensure that the volume is unlocked and then try the operation again.”
It means the drive will need to be unlocked to have the data backed up. The question did not state anything about that and they are often literal questions. I am going with
Windows server backup

I hate MS questions like this.
“The solution must use Windows Azure Online Backup whenever possible.”
What types of drives can I back up files and folders from?
You can’t back up the following drives/volumes:
Removable Media: All backup item sources must report as fixed.
Read-only Volumes: The volume must be writable for the volume shadow copy service (VSS) to function.
Offline Volumes: The volume must be online for VSS to function.
Network share: The volume must be local to the server to be backed up using online backup.
Bitlocker-protected volumes: The volume must be unlocked before the backup can occur.
File System Identification: NTFS is the only file system supported.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-backup-faq
BitLocker-protected volume –> Yes it is possible to use WAOB, but the volume must be unlocked before the backup can occur.
But as backups can sometimes take a long time, that means that if we unlock BitLocker, we are exposed for that time towards threats and attack; i.e: vulnerable to unauthorized access, either by running a software-attack tool against it or by transferring the computer’s hard disk to a different computer. BitLocker helps mitigate unauthorized data access by enhancing file and system protections.
On the other hand, most of backups are scheduled. That means that everytime we would want to backup Volume 1 we would need to manually unlcok BitLocker 1st.
I’m with you on this one bob.
Answer is:

I’d understand the question like they assume the BitLocker protected drives are however unlocked and accessible by the system. Because I also think it does not much sense to attach a BitLocker encrypted volume to a server without enabling the machine to access it anyways. Because usually if you are running services or store data residing on BitLocker enabled server volumes then you rather implement auto unlock instead of always having to unlock manually.

It does not say it is, or plans to be unlocked. We have to go strictly with what is given.
If Bit Locker is enabled, (which it is on volume 1) then we can’t use Azure. Keep it simple.

“The solution must use Windows Azure Online Backup whenever possible.”
English isn’t my native language but with Bitlocker encrypted its still possible to use Azure while with usb its not possible at all.

I agree with Fifse, the question clearly states whenever possible. It is possible to backup the drive with WAOB, all you need to do is unlock it.

Its kind of like with bit-locker encrypted drive you still “can” backup to Azure, but it needs to be unlocked first. So I will go with

No se puede hacer copias de seguridad de las siguientes unidades/volúmenes:
* Medios extraíbles.
* Volúmenes protegidos por BitLocker.

So, to get an idea of what Microsoft is getting at, we need to know “Is it possible to backup a locked BitLocker drive using Windows Server Backup?”. If the answer is yes, volume1 is most assuredly Windows Server Backup. If the answer is no, I would go with Microsoft Azure Online.
I am still trying to find out if this is possible or not but haven’t found any answers yet.

Yes, this question also still confusing me and is typical a question with two directions. unlock the drive or not unlock the drive.
In the question states it’s a corporate policy that backups must use Windows Azure Online Backup whenever possible i choose for Azure,
You can’t back up the following drives/volumes:

I think its not the intention to backup the encrypted data as not encrypted
