You have an on-premises server named Server1 that runs Windows Server and has the Hyper-V server role installed.
You have an Azure subscription.
You plan to back up Server1 to Azure by using Azure Backup.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-mabs-system-state-and-bmrAzure Backup provides various options to backup your data to Azure, including Azure VMs, Azure Files, SQL Server, SAP HANA, and on-premises servers. In this scenario, you plan to back up an on-premises server named Server1 to Azure by using Azure Backup.
Azure Backup supports two types of backups for on-premises servers:
MARS agent-based backup: This option uses the Azure Backup agent installed on the on-premises server to back up files and folders, system state, and Hyper-V virtual machines. The MARS agent-based backup does not require any additional infrastructure or deployment of Azure Backup Server.
MABS-based backup: This option requires the deployment of Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS) on the on-premises server. MABS provides more advanced features and capabilities for backup and recovery of on-premises servers.
Now, let's look at the given options and identify the two Azure Backup options that require the deployment of MABS:
A. Bare Metal Recovery: Bare metal recovery (BMR) is a type of backup that allows you to restore an entire server, including the operating system, system state, and data, to the same or different hardware. BMR requires the deployment of MABS on the on-premises server. Therefore, option A is correct.
B. Files and folders: Files and folders backup allows you to back up specific files and folders on the on-premises server to Azure. This option can be performed using the MARS agent-based backup without the need for MABS. Therefore, option B is incorrect.
C. System State: System state backup includes the operating system files, boot files, registry, and system components required to start the operating system. System state backup can be performed using the MARS agent-based backup without the need for MABS. Therefore, option C is incorrect.
D. Hyper-V Virtual Machines: Hyper-V virtual machine backup allows you to back up virtual machines running on the Hyper-V server. This option can be performed using the MARS agent-based backup without the need for MABS. Therefore, option D is incorrect.
In conclusion, the two Azure Backup options that require the deployment of Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS) are Bare Metal Recovery (option A) and none of the other options (options B, C, and D).
