Q24 of 50 47:00 left Backup & Recovery
Exam QuestionTimed MCQ
AZ-104 Storage domain Scenario based

A company needs daily backups for Azure VMs with 30-day retention and quick restore capability. Which service should they configure?

AAzure Site Recovery
BAzure Backup vault
CAzure Blob snapshots
DAzure Storage replication
Why: Azure Backup provides scheduled VM protection, retention policy control, and item-level restore without configuring a disaster recovery failover service.
Why the others are incorrect
A Azure Site Recovery handles DR failover and replication, not scheduled VM backup with retention.
C Blob snapshots capture blob state only, not VM-level restore with a retention policy.
D Storage replication (LRS/GRS) adds durability, not point-in-time VM recovery.

Explanations that teach the why

Answer review is built to explain the correct choice and make distractors easier to spot next time.

Correct: Azure Backup vault matches scheduled VM backup, retention policy, and fast restore requirements.
Not Site Recovery: that is disaster recovery replication, not routine backup retention.
Server-side scoring Answers are checked after submission for a cleaner readiness signal.

Built for Serious Exam Outcomes

Newly launched in Jun 2026, CertGrid focuses on measurable study signals: readiness, weak domains, review quality, and exam-specific progress.

Before booking

Know whether you are pass-ready

Use scaled scoring, timed attempts, and domain breakdowns to decide whether to book, postpone, or drill a specific weak area.

Readiness score + domain trend
After each miss

Turn wrong answers into study notes

Review explanations that clarify the correct answer and the distractors, so your next attempt tests understanding instead of memorization.

Explanation-first review
During revision

Spend time where the exam is exposing gaps

Bookmarks, history, and domain analytics keep the next session focused on the areas that are still dragging down your score.

How CertGrid Questions Are Reviewed

Original questions, mapped to the current exam blueprint, with an explanation for every answer - reviewed and updated as exams change.

Blueprint mapping

Written to the official exam outline

Every question is authored by our team against the vendor's current skills outline - always original, never copied or scraped from exam content.

Mapped to current objectives
Explanation quality

Every answer explained in depth

Each question explains the reasoning behind the correct answer and ties it back to the underlying concept, so you learn the material instead of memorizing a letter.

Concept-level explanations
Distractor review

Wrong options are reviewed too

Distractors are checked to be plausible but clearly incorrect, and each one carries a note on why it is wrong - so the answers you miss teach as much as the ones you get right.

Why each wrong option is wrong

Reviewed and kept current

Banks are re-reviewed whenever the vendor updates the exam, and every exam page shows the date its questions were last reviewed.

What CertGrid is

An independent practice platform for IT certification exams - here is what it does, who it is for, and what it is not.

What CertGrid is

CertGrid is an independent IT certification practice platform for Azure, AWS, Google, Cisco, Security, Linux, Kubernetes, Terraform, and other certification tracks. It provides objective-mapped practice questions, readiness scoring, weak-domain drills, and explanations to help learners understand what to study next.

Who it is for

Working IT professionals and students preparing for cloud, security, DevOps, and infrastructure certification exams who want to measure their readiness by domain before booking the real test.

What is included

Timed mock exams in the real exam's style, an explanation for every question (why the correct answer is right and why each distractor is wrong), domain-level readiness scoring, weak-domain drills, and progress tracking across attempts.

What CertGrid is not

CertGrid does not sell or provide real, leaked, or braindump exam questions, is not affiliated with or endorsed by any certification vendor, and does not guarantee a passing result. All questions are original practice items.

How readiness scoring works

After each attempt CertGrid scores you domain by domain against the exam blueprint and blends your recent measured attempts into a single readiness estimate, so you can see which domains are already exam-ready and which still need work.

How the free plan works

The free plan includes 20 practice questions per day from a fixed sample pool of 60 questions per exam, in practice mode with basic explanations. The full question bank, timed exam mode, complete explanations, readiness scoring, and analytics are paid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you start practicing.

Can I start using CertGrid for free?

Are these official certification exam questions?

No. CertGrid is an independent practice platform. We do not provide real or leaked exam questions. Our questions are original and designed to help you practice the concepts, scenarios, and difficulty style of certification exams.

CertGrid covers 120+ exams across Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, AWS, Google, Cisco, VMware, Kubernetes, Linux, Security, HashiCorp, GitHub, Docker, Nutanix, Citrix, and more.

Do I get explanations after answering?

Yes. Paid plans include full explanations, and the free plan includes partial explanations so you can understand mistakes and improve weak areas.

Are questions updated when vendors change exam objectives?

CertGrid content is reviewed against current exam objectives. When vendors publish meaningful objective changes, affected question banks are refreshed and re-audited.

What is included in the Single Exam Pass?

The Single Exam Pass unlocks one selected exam for 6 months, including unlimited practice for that exam, full explanations, domain trend analytics, and full exam history.

Why do some users see INR and others see USD?

Pricing is shown based on your region. Users in India usually see INR pricing, while users outside India usually see USD pricing.

Are Kubernetes and Linux Foundation exams hands-on?

Some official exams, such as CKA, CKAD, CKS, and LFCS, are hands-on lab exams. CertGrid provides MCQ-style readiness practice for concepts, commands, and troubleshooting decisions, but it is not a live lab simulator.
