You have an Azure subscription.

You have an on-premises file server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2019.

You manage Server1 by using Windows Admin Center.

Instead use Azure Storage Sync service and configure Azure File.

Use Azure File Sync to centralize your organization's file shares in Azure Files, while keeping the flexibility, performance, and compatibility of an on-premises file server. Azure File Sync transforms Windows Server into a quick cache of your Azure file share.

The solution provided will not meet the stated goal. The reason is that the solution is backing up data from a virtual machine (VM1), but the scenario states that the data resides on an on-premises file server (Server1). The correct solution should include backing up the data from the file server, not a virtual machine.

A suitable solution to meet the goal would be:

  1. Install the Azure Backup agent on Server1.
  2. Create a Recovery Services vault in the Azure portal.
  3. From the Azure portal, create a Backup policy that specifies the backup schedule, retention period, and other settings.
  4. Associate Server1 with the Backup policy.

This solution ensures that the data from Server1 is regularly backed up to Azure, enabling you to recover the data in case of a failure.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. No.
