Question 3
Veeam Backup & Replication is currently configured to back up different workloads: Windows VMs on vSphere and Linux VMs on vSphere. A secondary copy of all the backups including transaction logs must be created. Which of the following backup copy job configurations is the simplest?
Explanation:
According to the Veeam Backup & Replication best practice guide1, a new copy job mode was added called immediate copy. This mode immediately starts the backup copy job as soon as restore points appear in the repository. It also provides the ability to copy SQL and Oracle log backups which is not possible with traditional periodic backup copy12.
Therefore, if you want to create a secondary copy of all the backups including transaction logs, you should use an immediate copy backup copy job. The simplest configuration would be a single immediate copy backup copy job for all workloads (option B)
Question 4

Question 6
A daily backup job for seven Hyper-V VMs has been configured at the main site, keeping 14 days’ worth of backup files. They want to get a copy of the VM backups to a repository at the disaster recovery site. They want to keep six months’ worth of backup files at the disaster recovery site. They also need to be able to restore the VMs to any given day within two months and any given week within six months. How should a backup copy job be configured to meet these requirements?
Explanation:
According to the Veeam Backup & Replication user guide1, you can use a long-term retention policy (GFS) to keep backup files for longer periods of time. GFS stands for grandfather-father-son and refers to a backup rotation scheme that allows you to create weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly restore points12.
Therefore, if you want to be able to restore the VMs to any given day within two months and any given week within six months, you should use a GFS policy with 62 days of retention and 26 weekly GFS restore points. The simplest configuration would be an immediate copy (mirroring) mode with these settings (option B).
Question 7
A company needs several VMware thick provisioned VMs restored. The physical proxies used for restoration have access to the Fibre Channel datastores used by VMware. Which transport mode will be used by default to restore these VMs?

Question 8
A director in a business needs a folder of traffic photos restored from a Linux server. This machine sits on a VM backed up by Veeam Backup & Replication. The director wants the files restored to their original location and does not want to lose the original files. What functionality will be used to restore the folder using the Veeam Guest OS restoration wizard?
Explanation:
According to the Veeam Backup & Replication user guide1, you can use the Guest File Restore wizard to restore files and folders from VM guest OSes that run Linux or other non-Windows OSes2. The wizard allows you to choose how to handle situations when restored files already exist on the target location3.
Therefore, if you want to restore the folder of traffic photos to their original location and do not want to lose the original files, you should use the Keep function. This function will preserve original files on disk and will not overwrite them with restored files
Question 9
15 VMs are running on a Hyper-V platform and five physical servers at a remote office (ROBO). The administrator has been tasked with setting up centralized off-site backups at the headquarters (HQ).
The available bandwidth is 50 Mbps. RPO is set to six hours and the data generated for the interval is 500 GB. WAN accelerators can be added if necessary. Which of the following will achieve the RPO?
Explanation:
According to the Veeam Backup & Replication user guide12, WAN acceleration is a technology that optimizes data transfer to remote locations by performing deduplication and caching. It is specific for off-site backup copy jobs and replication jobs12.
Therefore, if you want to achieve the RPO of six hours with 500 GB of data and 50 Mbps of bandwidth, you should use backup copy jobs with WAN acceleration enabled. This will reduce the amount of data that needs to be transferred over the network and speed up the backup process12.
The simplest configuration would be an immediate copy mode with WAN acceleration
Question 10
A file on a Windows VM hosted on vSphere is corrupted and must be restored. VMware tools are installed and up to date on the VM. For some reason, the Veeam mount server cannot connect to the VM through the network. Which of the following restore methods provides the fastest restore (RTO)?
Explanation:
According to the Veeam Backup & Replication user guide1, you can use the File Level Restore wizard to restore files and folders from VM guest OSes that run Windows2. The wizard allows you to choose how to access the VM guest OS: through network or through VIX2VIX is a VMware API that enables programmatic access to virtual machine operations3.
Therefore, if you want to restore a file on a Windows VM hosted on vSphere and the mount server cannot connect to the VM through the network, you can use VIX as an alternative method of access2.
This will allow you to restore the file directly to its original location without downloading it locally or starting an Instant VM Recovery session.
