You are protecting on-premises Hyper-V VMs with Azure Site Recovery. The business requires up to 24 hours of recovery point retention with application-consistent recovery points every hour. You must run a Test Failover quarterly without impacting production networking. What should you do? (Choose two)

Correct answer: Create an ASR replication policy with 24-hour retention and set App-consistent snapshot frequency to 60 minutes., Create a network mapping to an isolated Azure virtual network and run Test Failover to that network..
Why this is the answer
The first correct answer addresses the recovery point objective (RPO) and consistency requirements. An Azure Site Recovery (ASR) replication policy allows you to define the retention period for recovery points (24 hours) and the frequency of application-consistent snapshots (60 minutes), which are crucial for database and application integrity. The second correct answer ensures that the quarterly Test Failover can be performed without disrupting the production environment. By creating a network mapping to an isolated Azure virtual network, the replicated VMs can start in an environment separate from your production network, allowing for testing without impact. Configuring crash-consistent snapshots only would not meet the requirement for application-consistent recovery points. Reconfiguring the primary VM's NIC before Test Failover is unnecessary and disruptive; ASR handles network configuration for failover.
