Backup answers a different question from replication
Lab 10 builds two Recovery Services vaults in two regions and points them at the same virtual machine. They are not redundant with each other. One of them recovers a file you deleted, and the other one recovers a region you lost.
The setup
The lab deploys a virtual machine into az104-rg-region1 from a template, protects it with a Recovery Services vault in the same region, then enables replication into a second vault in a second region. You will work both halves and find where each one stops.
az104-10-vm0virtual machineThe workload being protected. Deployed by template in Task 1.
az104-rsv-region1vaultThe Recovery Services vault in the primary region. Holds the backup policy and the recovery points.
az104-rsv-region2vaultThe vault in the secondary region. Holds the replicated copy for Site Recovery.
az104-backuppolicyThe backup policy the lab creates. It sets when backups run and how long recovery points are kept.
