• Question 2:

  What is a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) in regards to disaster recovery?

  A. The number of recovery points created during the backup process
  B. The acceptable data loss measured in time that can be tolerated
  C. The maximum amount of time it takes to restore a system
  D. The total cost associated with recovering a system
  B. The acceptable data loss measured in time that can be tolerated

  ---

  explanation:

  Explanation

  In the context of disaster recovery, the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is best defined by option B: The acceptable data loss measured in time that can be tolerated. RPO is a critical metric in disaster recovery and business continuity planning that specifies the maximum amount of data (measured in time) that an organization can afford to lose in the event of a disaster or system failure. It effectively sets the limit for how frequently data backups or replications should occur. For instance, an RPO of 4 hours means that the organization must be able to recover data from no more than 4 hours prior to the disaster, implying that backup or replication operations should occur at least every 4 hours. Establishing an RPO is essential for developing an effective data protection strategy, as it guides the choice of backup methodologies and technologies to meet the organization's tolerance for data loss.

  D. Veeam ONE can potentially identify infrastructure issues prior to performing a backup.

  ---

  explanation:

  Explanation

  It is recommended to install Veeam ONE before Veeam Backup and Replication because Veeam ONE can potentially identify infrastructure issues that might affect backup operations before they are performed. This proactive approach ensures that the environment is optimized for successful backup and replication tasks. Veeam Installation and Configuration Guide, Veeam ONE Deployment Best Practices

• Question 4:

  An engineer sets up a backup job with direct backup to the AWS S3. The retention of the job is set to 31 days and the immutable period is set to 31 days. However, one full backup data is not removed automatically after 60 days.

  Which option could be the reason for this?

  A. The backup job is disabled accidentally.
  B. The backup data is encrypted.
  C. It is an active full backup, not synthetic full.
  D. A retention exception is enabled for the restore point.
  D. A retention exception is enabled for the restore point.

  ---

  explanation:

  Explanation

  In Veeam Backup and Replication, an immutable backup means that the backup data cannot be modified or deleted during the specified immutable period. However, even with immutability enabled, once the period expires, the data should be automatically subject to the defined retention policy. If a backup still persists beyond the retention period, a likely explanation is that a retention lock or exception has been applied to that particular restore point, preventing it from being deleted. Other listed reasons wouldn't typically prevent the deletion of the backup file after the immutable period has lapsed.

• Question 5:

  A backup administrator decided to move the Veeam Backup and Replication server and configuration database to new servers. Which configuration restore mode should be used?

  A. Restore
  B. Planned failover
  C. Failover plan
  D. Migrate
  A. Restore

  ---

  explanation:

  Explanation

  When moving the Veeam Backup and Replication server and its configuration database to new hardware or servers, the appropriate process to undertake is a configuration restore, denoted by option A: Restore. This process involves using the Veeam Backup and Replication Configuration Backup utility, which regularly backs up the configuration of the Veeam Backup and Replication server. In the event of a hardware migration or significant system change, this utility allows administrators to restore the server's configuration, including all settings, job configurations, and inventory, onto the new server setup. This ensures a seamless transition with minimal disruption to the backup operations and policies that were previously in place.

• Question 6:

  On Monday, a backup administrator found out that some backup jobs were missing from a configuration. They want to roll back the configuration database to Friday's state. Which configuration restore mode should be used?

  A. Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SQL
  B. Instant SQL Recovery
  C. Restore
  D. Migrate
  C. Restore

  ---

  explanation:

  Explanation

  To roll back the configuration database to Friday's state, the backup administrator should use the 'Restore' mode available in Veeam Backup and Replication. This mode allows for the entire configuration backup to be restored, which includes the job settings and history, and brings the configuration database back to the state it was in at the time of the backup.

• Question 8:

  A backup of a Windows VM running on a VMware cluster has been created. In which scenario can the Quick Rollback option be used during a Full VM Restore of the VM?

  A. Migration of VM to VMware host in a different data center
  B. Issues caused by storage data corruption
  C. Migration of VM to Hyper-V host in the same data center
  D. Issues caused by VM guest user error
  D. Issues caused by VM guest user error

  ---

  explanation:

  Explanation

  The Quick Rollback feature can be used during a Full VM Restore to restore only the changed blocks of data since the last backup. This is typically used when the issues are minor and have been caused by VM guest user error, rather than full-scale data corruption or migrations to a different virtualization host. Quick Rollback can efficiently restore the VM to its previous state without the need to transfer the entire VM's data.
