HOTSPOT
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 it’s
Vol1 = Azure
Vol2 = Azure
Vol3 = Windows Server Backup
Vol4 = Windowd Server Backup
Why should Vol1 be Windows Server Backup?

Drive description: Azure Backup supported:
BitLocker-protected volume Yes, but the volume must be unlocked before the backup can occur.

The questions says ‘whenever possible’ twice. So I guess the question wants the administrator to unlock the BitLocker enabled disk whenever Azure Backup runs, which totally negates the purpose of scheduled online backup. If then, Powershell comes in play. Lock-BitLocker, Unlock-BitLocker.

However, I would still choose Windows Server Backup for BitLocker encrypted volume backup. If I unlock it for backup, it’s not encrypted. Then, it’s the lack of the backup software’s ability which can not backup encrypted disk.

Yes… but it says “use Azure whenever possible”.
It’s possible, therefore you use Azure.

It doesn’t say “Use Azure when it’s the most convenient for the Sys Admin”.

According to a TechNet article With the requirements for Azure Backup i would have choosed.
Azure (Bitlocker)
Windows Backup
Azure (Bitlocker)
Windows Backup
I Guess that the Clue here must be encryption methodes used on each volume.
———————————————————————————
Disks
The following settings are required for a volume to be backed up:
•Formatted used NTFS formatted volumes using other formats are not supported
•The volume must be online to the operating system
•The volume can not be read-only
•Not supported by backing up the volumes of network sharing
•Volume is encrypted with BitLocker encryption
There is a limit of 850Gb for each backup job. If the folders to backup are greater than this limit is necessary to distribute the jobs with smaller volumes or split the backup job to save the files into separate activities.

I am a bit confused because another research for the solution says this.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh831419.aspx
Usage considerations
——————————————————————————–
You can use Microsoft Azure Backup to back up content stored on fixed NTFS volumes. It cannot be used in the following situations:
• Volume is locked by BitLocker Drive Encryption. If BitLocker is enabled on the volume, the volume must be unlocked before it can be backed up.
• Volume is not formatted with NTFS.
• Drive type is not fixed.
• Volume is read-only.
• Volume is not currently online.
• Volume is on a network share.

well you choosed wrong. azure will not backup any removable media.

BitLocker-protected volume
Yes, but the volume must be unlocked before the backup can occur.
File System identification
Yes. NTFS is the only file system supported for this version of the online backup service.
Removable Media
No. The drive must report as fixed to be used a backup item source.
Read-only Volumes
No. The volume must be writable for the volume shadow copy service (VSS) to function.
Offline Volumes
No. The volume must be online for VSS to function.
Network share
No. The volume must be local to the server to be backed up using online backup.

Serg – great summary of requirements. I’m adding a link in case others want to verify (you should know these for the exam anyway):

So what is the right answer, there is no mark in the question that the volume with bitlocker is unlocked?

what does it mean to you guys
azure (whenever posible is stated in the question)
azure

I would go:
Windows Backup
Azure
Windows Backup
Windows Backup
Yes you could unlock the drive then back it up then lock it again, but its encrypted for a reason…Its not an acceptable solution to say disable the security encryption on this drive overnight while it backs up…what happens if a burglary happens overnight and these drives are stolen?
The question states “WHERE POSSIBLE”. In its current state, it is not possible to do.

To use even the Windows Backup you have to unlock the drive first.

I think Azure, Azure, Windows, Windows
Agree with most other people that currently it is not possible to backup the encrypted volume to Azure, but you can make it possible.

Thinking about it, can you not just schedule an unlock-bitlocker and lock-bitlocker so that this runs and then gets locked again??

Actually, you don’t need to unlock the volume as it’s already unlocked. If you think about it, you have a server with the bitlocker volume mounted and obviously you need this volume to be unlocked to write data to it. There is no use in locked volume on your server, so I think they implying that volume is unlocked as long as server up and running. So you’re right, answer – Azure, Azure, Windows, Windows.

Thanks for confirming, I think this is another case of Microsoft trying to trick you! Maybe they are just wanting to know that you understand that USB drives cannot be backed up using Azure?
0

Surely MS are wanting the exam taker to understand what can and cannot be backed up using Azure, for example, internal data volume vs external USB storage?
If a drive is encrypted with bit locker then it decrypts on boot therefore Azure can access and backup the drive with no issues. You also install an agent using powershell when using azure and encrypted drives don’t you? Therefore this is closed for discussion in my opinion.
Leaving the next obvious choice of internal drives versus USB drives.
Based on this and my research I would say – Azure, Azure, Server backup, Server backup.
If you disagree can you post please as I want to know why.
Thanks

“Q11. What types of drives can I backup files and folders from?
A11. The following set of drives/volumes can’t be backup:
Removable Media: The drive must report as a fixed to be used a backup item source.
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 for this version of the online backup service.”
So Azure, Azure, Server, Server.

hey all, what’s the big deal here guys!
“whenever possible” means “whenever possible” and it is possible to backup the Bitlocker-Encrypted volume after unlocking it.
The answer is: Azure, Azure, ServerBackup, ServerBackup.

how far does “whenever possible” go? If I have a Fat23 partition can I say “sure i can use azure backup, I only need to format it to NTFS first…” In my opinion you can’t backup an encrypted drive with Azure. Unlocking it is a workaround. Tricky question though 🙁
