PL-900 Practice Question: Manage the Microsoft Power Platform environment
Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit. PowerShell output: Get-AdminPowerAppEnvironment -EnvironmentName 'Default-12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc' Name : Default-12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc DisplayName : Contoso Production Location : eastus ProvisioningState : Succeeded CreatedBy : admin@contoso.com CreatedTime : 2023-01-15T10:00:00Z LastModifiedTime : 2023-06-20T14:30:00Z EnvironmentType : Production EnvironmentSku : Production LinkedEnvironmentType : None RetentionPeriodInDays : 30 IsDefault : False
Refer to the exhibit. The environment 'Contoso Production' was created on January 15, 2023. You need to restore this environment to a state from January 20, 2023. What is the first step you must take?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is that candidates might assume point-in-time restore must be enabled first (Option A), but in reality, it is automatically available for production environments, and the critical first step is verifying backup availability.
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
✓
Check if a backup from January 20, 2023, exists in the environment's backup list.
The first step in restoring a Power Platform environment to a specific past date is to verify that a backup exists for that date. Microsoft Power Platform automatically creates daily backups for production environments, but you must check the backup list to confirm that a backup from January 20, 2023, is available before proceeding with the restore operation.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enable point-in-time restore in the environment settings.
Why it's wrong here
Point-in-time restore is not a setting; it's based on backups.
- ✓
Check if a backup from January 20, 2023, exists in the environment's backup list.
Why this is correct
You need to verify backup availability before restoring.
- ✗
Convert the environment to a sandbox environment.
Why it's wrong here
Conversion is not necessary for restore.
- ✗
Copy the environment to a new environment using the date parameter.
Why it's wrong here
Copying does not allow specifying a point in time.
