Which methods can be used to recover the system volume of an on-premises server using Microsoft Azure Backup Server?

The selected answer is correct because recovering the system volume of an on-premises server using Microsoft Azure Backup Server can be achieved by performing a bare metal recovery when a server is completely down or when the system drive is damaged. This recovery option allows you to restore the entire system, including the operating system, configuration settings, and applications onto a new drive.

Complementing this recovery, a system state recovery is also essential as it allows you to restore critical system components such as the registry, boot files, and Active Directory information, which are vital for the system to function properly. The combination of both methods—bare metal recovery to a new drive and system state recovery—ensures that the server can be fully operational with all settings and configurations intact.

This dual approach provides a comprehensive recovery strategy as it directly addresses both the physical aspects of restoration (the hard drive) and the operational aspects (system files and settings). In other options, only focusing on bare metal recovery or system state recovery individually does not provide the full scope necessary for effective recovery of the system volume.
