A Windows Server 2019 VM runs an application that the vendor states cannot be captured in a saved state. You need to use checkpoints to create application-consistent restore points and store checkpoint files on a dedicated volume D:\Checkpoints. What should you configure? (Choose two)

Correct answer: Set the VM’s checkpoint type to Production only., Change the VM’s checkpoint file location to D:\Checkpoints..
Why this is the answer
To create application-consistent restore points, you must use Production checkpoints. Production checkpoints leverage Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) inside the guest VM to quiesce the application and operating system, ensuring data integrity. Standard checkpoints, in contrast, use saved states, which the vendor explicitly states is not supported for this application. Therefore, setting the VM's checkpoint type to Production only is correct. The requirement to store checkpoint files on a dedicated volume D:\Checkpoints directly maps to changing the VM's checkpoint file location. This ensures checkpoints are stored as specified. Disabling VSS with Standard checkpoints would prevent application consistency. Shutting down the VM before each checkpoint is impractical and unnecessary with Production checkpoints. Automatic checkpoints are not required by the prompt and don't guarantee application consistency without Production checkpoints.
