Data Protection — Microsoft Azure Administrator (AZ-104) Practice Questions
Data protection in Azure Storage encompasses a set of features designed to preserve data integrity and enable recovery from accidental deletion or corruption. Key capabilities tested on AZ-104 include soft delete for blobs and containers (which retains deleted data for a configurable retention period), blob versioning (which preserves previous states of a blob on every write), and point-in-time restore for block blobs. Administrators must understand when to enable these features, how retention policies interact, and how they contribute to an overall backup and recovery strategy alongside Azure Backup.
