Your company has two physical locations configured in a geo-clustered environment that includes:
– System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2
– System Center Data Protection Manager 2012 R2
– SQL Server 2012
– Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V
– Over 100 virtual machines (VMs) in each physical location
Your company has recently signed up for Azure. You plan to leverage your current network
environment to provide a backup solution for your VMs. You need to recommend a solution that
ensures all VMs are redundant and deployable between locations. You also want the solution to
minimize downtime in the event of an outage at either physical location. Which solution should you
recommend?

A.
Configure a backup vault in Azure and use Data Protection Manager to back up The Windows Servers.

B.
Use Data Protection Manager and back up the VMs in each location.

C.
Use Azure site recovery in an on-premises to Azure protection configuration.

D.
Use Azure site recovery in an on-premises to on-premises protection configuration.

Explanation:
On-Premises to On-Premises (Hyper-V replication)
* Cloud metadata is sent to Azure Site Recovery.
Replicated data is stored in location specified on target Hyper-V server.
* Azure account with Azure Site Recovery enabled.
* Virtual machines replicate from source on-premises Hyper-V server to another.
You can set up reverse replication to replicate back to the source location.
* Requires source and target VMM servers with at least one cloud on each, or a single VMM server
with two clouds. Clouds must contain at least one Hyper-V host server or cluster.
