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 described in the question is not correct because the question specifies that the on-premises file server named Server1 needs to be backed up, however, the solution states that the backup will be performed on a virtual machine named VM1. Therefore, the correct answer is B. No.

To meet the goal of ensuring that data can be recovered from Azure if Server1 fails, you need to perform the following steps:

  1. Create a Recovery Services vault in the Azure portal: A Recovery Services vault is an Azure resource that provides backup storage for data and workloads. To create a Recovery Services vault, you need to select the appropriate subscription, resource group, and name for the vault.

  2. Download and install the Azure Backup agent on Server1: The Azure Backup agent is a component that you can use to back up data from an on-premises machine to Azure. You can download the agent from the Azure portal and then install it on Server1.

  3. Create a backup policy: You can use a backup policy to specify the backup frequency, retention period, and other settings for the backups. You can create a backup policy in the Azure portal and then associate it with the Recovery Services vault.

  4. Schedule a backup: After you create a backup policy, you can schedule a backup for Server1. You can do this in the Azure portal by selecting the appropriate backup policy and specifying the backup start time.

By following these steps, you can ensure that the data on Server1 is backed up to Azure and can be recovered if Server1 fails.
