Exhibit

Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The source database must have geo-redundant backup storage configured.
The Restore-AzSqlDatabase cmdlet with the -FromGeoBackup parameter requires the source database to have geo-redundant backup storage (also known as geo-redundant storage) enabled. This allows restoration from geographically replicated backups. Option B is incorrect because point-in-time restore is not required for a geo-restore; geo-restore uses the geo-redundant backup independently. Option C is incorrect because the source database does not need to be online at the time of restoration; geo-backups are stored in Azure storage and are available even if the source database is offline. Option D is incorrect because the purpose of geo-restore is to restore to a different region; therefore, the target server can be in a different region than the source.
