NEW QUESTION 2
A business has several remote sites that are backed up to the central Veeam infrastructure. After a few months, the amount of data has grown and backup copy jobs do not fit into the backup window. The current bandwidth is 20 Mbps. Management wants to avoid any additional investments.
Which option would improve backup duration?

• A. Add more RAM to central VBR Server
• B. Increase bandwidth to remote sites
• C. Upgrade all remote instances to V12
• D. Deploy WAN accelerators for remote sites

Answer: D

Explanation:
WAN accelerators are a feature in Veeam Backup & Replication that optimize data transfer over WAN connections. By deploying WAN accelerators at both the central VBR (Veeam Backup & Replication) server location and the remote sites, data transfer can be optimized to fit into the existing backup window without the need for additional bandwidth investment. WAN accelerators work by caching repetitive patterns of data, which significantly reduces the amount of data that needs to be transferred over the network after the initial job run. This makes it a cost-effective solution for improving backup duration when bandwidth is limited.

NEW QUESTION 4
An infrastructure with 50 VMs has a power outage. After the VMware cluster has booted up again, 10 large VMs are orphaned. However, all VM disk files are still on the datastores. What is the quickest way to bring back those VMs with the least possible data loss?

• A. Remove the existinq VM disk files from the datastore and perform Instant VM Recovery
• B. Perform Instant VM Recovery with quick rollback with automatic Power On VM at the end.
• C. Perform Restore VM Files and only restore the VM configuration files.
• D. Use the "Restore guest files" option to restore the VM configuration files.

Answer: C

Explanation:
In a situation where VMs are orphaned after a power outage but their disk files remain intact on the datastores, the most efficient way to restore these VMs with minimal data loss is C: Perform Restore VM Files and only restore the VM configuration files. This approach involves using Veeam Backup & Replication to restore only the necessary VMX files (for VMware) or equivalent configuration files for other hypervisors, which contain the settings and configuration of the VMs. Since the disk files are still present and intact on the datastores, restoring the configuration files allows the VMs to be re- registered with the hypervisor and brought back online quickly, without the need to transfer or restore the entire VM disk files, thus minimizing downtime and data loss.

NEW QUESTION 5
A number of VMs are running as interdependent applications. They need to fail over, one by one, as a group. What method should be used to do this?

• A. Replica failover
• B. Replication plan
• C. Planned failover
• D. Failover plan

Answer: D

Explanation:
To ensure VMs running interdependent applications fail over one by one, as a group, the method to use is D: Failover plan. In Veeam Backup & Replication, a failover plan allows for the orchestration of a group of replicas to fail over in a predefined sequence. This includes the capability to set up delays between starting each VM, which is crucial for interdependent applications that must be started in a specific order to function correctly. The failover plan ensures that dependencies among the group are respected and that the startup sequence follows the correct order, enabling a smooth and organized transition to the failover state.

NEW QUESTION 6
The director of a business needs a folder of files restored from the corporate shared drive. This drive sits on a Windows VM backed up by Veeam Backup & Replication. The director does not want the folder restored to its original location. Where can this folder be restored to using the Veeam Guest OS Restore wizard?

• A. An AWS S3 bucket
• B. An Azure blob
• C. An e-mail as an attachment
• D. A valid UNC path

Answer: D

Explanation:
Using the Veeam Guest OS File Restore wizard, files or folders can be restored to a valid UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path. This means that the director's folder can be restored to any network location that the Windows VM has access to, as long as it's specified in the UNC format, such as \\Server\SharedFolder. This allows for the flexibility of restoring the data to a different location than the original one. References:

NEW QUESTION 7
An engineer is configuring Veeam Backup and Replication for an organization to protect a VMware environment using vSAN. The backup proxy must be isolated from the VMkernel.
Which transport mode should the engineer use?

• A. Direct NFS access
• B. Direct SAN access
• C. Network mode
• D. Virtual appliance

Answer: D

Explanation:
When configuring Veeam Backup & Replication in a VMware vSAN environment, the best practice is to use the Virtual Appliance transport mode. This mode is also referred to as "hot-add" and allows the backup proxy to mount VM disks directly from the datastore. This method is more isolated from the VMkernel network traffic, as it does not require network connectivity to the hosts to retrieve data, thus providing a level of isolation that meets the requirement stated in the question. The Direct NFS and Direct SAN options are not applicable for vSAN, and Network mode would not provide the necessary isolation from VMkernel network traffic.

NEW QUESTION 8
What describes an RPO?

• A. To confirm at what point a backup should be migrated to Object Storage
• B. To clarify how many restore points need to be recovered at the same time
• C. To determine the maximum length of time a workload or application can be down
• D. To confirm the data loss tolerance of a Business Unit or Organization

Answer: D

Explanation:
Recovery Point Objective (RPO) refers to the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. It is essentially the age of the files that must be recovered from backup storage for normal operations to resume after a failure or disaster. In other words, it defines the data loss tolerance of a business unit or organization. If an RPO is set to one hour, the system must back up at least every hour to meet the RPO.References:

• A. Set a Data Protection alert in Enterprise Manager
• B. Set a backup copy window alert on the repository
• C. Set up post-thaw scripts to send an email
• D. Enable the appropriate RPO monitor

Answer: D

Explanation:
To receive an automatic alert if the backup copy job violates the company's 8-hour policy for copying backups to a remote location, the backup administrator should enable the appropriate Recovery Point Objective (RPO) monitor. This feature tracks the age of the latest backup and alerts when it exceeds the defined RPO.References: Veeam Backup & Replication Documentation, Veeam RPO Monitoring and Reporting Guide

It is required that some replicated VMs start on a time delay during a failover. How can this be accomplished?

• A. Create a failover plan.
• B. Adjust boot delay in application group.
• C. Use a pre-freeze/post-thaw script.
• D. Modify the failover template file.

Answer: A

Explanation:
A failover plan in Veeam Backup & Replication allows you to define the order in which VMs are started during a failover operation. It can include startup delays for certain VMs, ensuring that some VMs can be configured to start after a defined time delay. This meets the requirement of having some replicated VMs start on a time delay. References:

NEW QUESTION 12
In the war against ransomware, a company decided to implement tape backup. The infrastructure contains VMware VMs and physical Windows servers. What is the most efficient approach to getting all servers onto tape?

• A. Create file to tape jobs and write directly to tape.
• B. Create backup jobs, then create file to tape jobs.
• C. Create backup to tape jobs and write directly to tape.
• D. Create backup jobs, then create backup to tape jobs.

Answer: D

Explanation:
The most efficient approach to getting all servers onto tape, considering there are both VMware VMs and physical Windows servers in the infrastructure, is to first create backup jobs that target both the VMs and the physical servers. After these backups are stored on a disk-based repository, you can then create backup to tape jobs. This method leverages Veeam's ability to handle both types of environments and ensures that all data is efficiently backed up to tape for offsite storage and ransomware protection. References:

• B. Crash consistent mode
• C. App consistent mode
• D. Application-aware processing

Answer: D

Explanation:
To ensure that a backup job includes both the virtual machine's disk files and the Microsoft SQL database transaction logs, Application-aware processing should be used. This feature enables Veeam Backup & Replication to create transactionally consistent backups of VMs running VSS-aware applications like Microsoft SQL Server, ensuring that both the VM disks and the SQL transaction logs are properly backed up.References: Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, Veeam Application-Aware Processing Guide

NEW QUESTION 15
A Veeam proxy server is configured as follows. No modifications are allowed to the transport mode.
When performing a restore of a VMware virtual disk using this proxy server, the restore fails. What is a possible cause?

• A. CBT is enabled on the virtual disk.
• B. CBT is disabled on the virtual disk.
• C. The virtual disk is thin-provisioned.
• D. The virtual disk is thick-provisioned

Answer: C

Explanation:
Given the provided transport modes and the fact that no modifications are allowed to these settings, a possible cause for the restore of a VMware virtual disk to fail using this proxy server is C: The virtual disk is thin-provisioned. In the transport modes shown, the Direct storage access and Virtual appliance options would require the VM disk files to be accessible in a certain way that might not be compatible with thin-provisioned disks depending on the storage configuration and the current state of the VM. If the storage integration specifics or the snapshot handling do not support the thin-provisioned format, the restore operation could fail. It's important to ensure that the transport mode selected is compatible with the type of virtual disk being restored to prevent such issues.

NEW QUESTION 16
A business has the following new regulatory requirements to follow: 3-2-1
Prevent the most recent 31 days of any backup files from being deleted or modified Keep 1 copy of a monthly restore point around for 2 years
They have the following setup:
A standalone repository on a NAS
A backup job keeping 31 days of restore points
A backup copy job to an Amazon S3 Repository, keeping 31 days of backups and 24 monthly GFS restore points
Which two actions should the engineer take to change the environment to meet the new
requirements? (Choose two.)

• A. Enable Immutability on the NAS
• B. Add 24 monthly GFS restore points to the backup job
• C. Configure a Scale-Out Backup Repository with NAS and Amazon S3
• D. Move the backups from the NAS to a Linux Hardened Repository
• E. Enable immutability in Amazon S3

Answer: AE

Explanation:
To meet the new regulatory requirements, enabling immutability on both the NAS and Amazon S3 is essential. Immutability prevents backup files from being deleted or modified, aligning with the requirement to protect the most recent 31 days of backup files. By enabling this feature on the NAS and Amazon S3, the business ensures that both local and offsite copies of their data are secure and compliant with the regulation. The other options do not directly address the new requirements of preventing deletion or modification of backup files.References:

NEW QUESTION 17
The configuration database is corrupted, and the backup administrator wants to recover the data. Which configuration restore mode should be used?

• A. Instant Recovery
• B. Restore
• C. Failover
• D. Migrate

Answer: B

Explanation:
In the event that the Veeam Backup & Replication configuration database is corrupted, the appropriate action to take is to perform a configuration restore. Veeam Backup & Replication allows you to back up and restore its configuration database. The Restore option should be used to recover the data from a configuration backup. This process will restore the configuration database from the backup file, which includes information about backup jobs, repository settings, and more. Instant Recovery, Failover, and Migrate are not appropriate options for recovering a corrupted configuration database. Instant Recovery is used to quickly restore a VM to a running state, Failover is used for High Availability in case a VM fails, and Migrate is used to move VMs from one host or storage to another.
