You operate pooled host pools with stateless session hosts using ephemeral OS disks. FSLogix profiles are on Azure Files Premium. You need to implement backup and disaster recovery while avoiding unnecessary protection of ephemeral resources. Which two actions should you take? (Select two answers.)

Correct answer: Keep session hosts stateless and replicate only the custom image to the DR region using Azure Compute Gallery., Protect FSLogix profile shares by enabling Azure Backup for Azure Files with daily snapshots and long-term retention as required..
Why this is the answer
For stateless session hosts with ephemeral OS disks, the OS disk is not persistent, so backing it up is unnecessary. Instead, you should replicate the custom image used to create these hosts to the disaster recovery (DR) region using Azure Compute Gallery. This allows for rapid deployment of new session hosts in the DR region. FSLogix profiles contain user data and settings, which are critical for user experience and must be protected. Enabling Azure Backup for Azure Files with appropriate retention policies ensures these profiles are recoverable in a disaster. Incorrect options: Using Azure Site Recovery to replicate Azure Files shares is not the primary or most efficient method for backup and recovery of Azure Files; Azure Backup for Azure Files is designed for this purpose. Enabling Azure Backup for VMs on session hosts with ephemeral OS disks is redundant because the disks are non-persistent and rebuilt from the image. Azure Site Recovery replicates VMs, not image definitions within Azure Compute Gallery. The gallery itself provides replication capabilities for images.
