Another question has wrong possible correct answer

[Sungpill Han]

Your company eCommerce website is deployed in an Azure virtual machine named TD-BGC.

You created a backup of the TD-BGC and implemented the following changes:

– Change the local admin password.

– Create and attach a new disk.

– Resize the virtual machine.

– Copy the log reports to the data disk.

You received an email that the admin restore the TD-BGC using the replace existing configuration.

Which of the following options should you perform to bring back the changes in TD-BGC?

The answer is admin password because the backup will restore OS drive.

Resizing VM machine is the property of Azure, so it will not change.

Since, the new disk is attached and the logs are copied to the disk, and the backup does’t have any backup point to the disk, the disk will stay if the new disk is the data disk.

If the answer should be log reports, then the question should have stated ‘existing deta disk’. But again even that is true, local admin password is gone too because OS disk is replaced.

Hello Sungpill Han,

Thank you for raising your concern. We appreciate the detailed feedback.

After further review and validation against the latest Azure documentation, we have updated both the correct answer and the explanation for this question.

You are correct that the new data disk was created and attached after the backup was taken, meaning it is not part of the recovery point. After a Replace Existing restore operation, the disk is detached from the VM but not deleted — it remains in the resource group with the log reports still intact. Therefore, the correct action is to re-attach the existing data disk to the virtual machine, not to copy the log reports again.

We have also removed the claim that the local admin password is preserved after a Replace Existing restore, as this behavior is not explicitly documented by Microsoft for Windows VMs and should not have been stated as fact.

We apologize for the confusion caused by the previous explanation and thank you for helping us improve the accuracy of our content.

Cheers,

Irene @ Tutorials Dojo
