az-800 Practice Question 1903
Exam: az-800
Domain: Manage storage and file services
Topic: Implement Storage Spaces and Azure File Sync
Difficulty: medium
In a scenario where you need to implement a highly available storage solution for a small business with limited on-premises resources, which of the following should you recommend to ensure data is stored locally while also being synchronized with an Azure file share for disaster recovery purposes?
Answer Options
A
Implement Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) on the on-premises servers.
B
Use Azure File Sync to synchronize files between on-premises storage and Azure Files.
C
Configure tiering policies to move less frequently accessed data to cheaper storage tiers.
D
Set up cloud tiering to automatically move data to Azure Blob Storage based on access patterns.
Correct Answer
B: Use Azure File Sync to synchronize files between on-premises storage and Azure Files.
Explanation
Azure File Sync is designed to synchronize files between on-premises storage and Azure Files, providing a seamless way to store data locally while ensuring it is backed up in the cloud. Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) is a local storage solution that provides high availability and performance but does not offer cloud synchronization. Tiering and cloud tiering are storage management techniques for moving data between different storage tiers, not for on-premises to cloud synchronization.
