Challenge
Configure a Failover Group for Both Databases
We will then configure Active Geo Replication for 1 database and a failover group for both databases in the West US server. The failover group should have a secondary SQL server in West US as the failover option with East being primary.

Challenge
Configure Long Term Backups for both Databases
The backups for both databases should be weekly backups stored for 2 years and monthly backups should be configured and stored for 4 years. Daily backups will be handled by the default backups provided for in SQL DB. Create an LTR in both West and East servers.
