Option C	Use automated Export.
Option D	Upgrade to Premium tier.
Option E	Use point in time restore.
Option F	Downgrade to Basic tier.
Correct Answer	B,D

Description Explanation: B: The Active Geo-Replication feature implements a mechanism to provide database redundancy within the same Microsoft Azure region or in different regions (geo- redundancy). One of the primary benefits of Active Geo-Replication is that it provides a database-level disaster recovery solution. Using Active Geo-Replication, you can configure a user database in the Premium service tier to replicate transactions to databases on different Microsoft Azure SQL Database servers within the same or different regions. Cross-region redundancy enables applications to recover from a permanent loss of a datacenter caused by natural disasters, catastrophic human errors, or malicious acts. D: Active Geo-Replication is available for databases in the Premium service tier only.
