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.

Yes, the proposed solution meets the goal of ensuring data recovery from Azure in case of Server1 failure.

Explanation: The proposed solution involves creating a Recovery Services vault in Azure, which is a cloud-based backup solution that enables reliable backup and recovery of data and applications in Azure. With a Recovery Services vault, you can back up on-premises servers and virtual machines, as well as Azure virtual machines.

To configure backup for Server1, the solution suggests using Windows Server Backup, which is a built-in backup tool that enables the creation of full server backups, as well as incremental backups, on Windows Server. Once the backup is configured, it can be scheduled to run automatically at regular intervals.

In case of Server1 failure, you can use the backup stored in the Recovery Services vault to recover your data and applications. The backup data can be restored to a new server or virtual machine, which can then be used to continue operations.

Therefore, the proposed solution meets the goal of ensuring data recovery from Azure in case of Server1 failure.
