Question

Your company protects 40 Azure VMs in a Recovery Services vault using a single backup policy that keeps daily recovery points for 30 days. To meet a new compliance requirement, you must retain the daily recovery points for 90 days. You need the change to apply to all protected VMs, including recovery points already created, with the least administrative effort. What should you do?

Answer

Create a new backup policy with 90-day retention and re-register each VM from scratch.

Answer

Stop backups with retain data for each VM, then reconfigure backup with a new 90-day policy.

Answer

Enable soft delete on the vault to extend recovery point retention to 90 days.
