Question 19

An engineer needs to back up their VMware VMs running on a Nimble Array. The engineer has checked “Enable backup from storage snapshots” when creating the job. When the backup runs, snapshots are not triggered on the Nimble Array.
Which additional step must be performed?

A. The Nimble Array needs to be rebooted to allow for Backup from Storage Snapshots.

B. The Nimble Array needs to be added to Storage Infrastructure.

C. The backup repository is not configured to accept snapshots

D. VMware Tools need to be updated

Correct Answer:B
To enable backup from storage snapshots with a Nimble Array, it is necessary to add the storage system to the Veeam Backup & Replication console's Storage Infrastructure. This allows Veeam to interact with the Nimble Array and orchestrate the creation of storage snapshots, which can then be used for backups. Simply enabling the backup from storage snapshots option in the job is not enough; the array itself must be integrated into the Veeam infrastructure.References:

Question 20

A mid-sized company uses Veeam Backup and Replication to safeguard their business- critical data from ransomware attacks. The company needs to validate backups and increase security, while improving DevOps efficiency.
How can a SureBackup Job be utilized to address the company's specific needs?

A. Helps improve the data deduplication and compression ratios

B. Validates backup data and ensures backups are ransom ware-free

C. Creates a secure, isolated environment to test new applications

D. Improves recovery speed reducing RTO

Correct Answer:C
A SureBackup Job in Veeam Backup and Replication can be utilized to create a secure, isolated environment to test new applications. This feature allows companies to validate backups and run their VMs in an isolated environment, providing an opportunity to test applications, patches, or updates without impacting the production environment.References: Veeam Backup & Replication Documentation, Veeam SureBackup Guide

Question 21

A Veeam engineer creates a Scale-Out Backup Repository (SOBR) that uses AWS S3 as the Performance Tier. The backup job is configured to “Keep monthly full backups for: 12 months”. The engineer wants the backups to move to Glacier after 90 days.
What should the engineer do first to achieve this goal?

A. Create a Vault in S3 Glacier

B. Add AWS S3 as a Capacity Tier before they can use Glacier

C. Add an Archive Tier with the appropriate Bucket from S3

D. Reconfigure the SOBR to use block storage as the Performance Tier

Correct Answer:B
In Veeam Backup & Replication, to utilize AWS S3 Glacier for long-term storage, the AWS S3 must first be added as a Capacity Tier within the Scale-Out Backup Repository (SOBR). This step is necessary before backups can be moved to Glacier. Once S3 is established as the Capacity Tier, the policies for moving backups to Glacier can be configured based on the retention requirements (in this case, after 90 days). This approach ensures that the monthly full backups are initially stored in S3 and then offloaded to Glacier for cost-effective long-term retention.References:

Question 22

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-thawscript.

D. Modify the failover template file.

Correct Answer:A
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:

Question 23

A company has an RPO set at 4 hours and values data protection and disaster recovery. A disaster occurs on June 12, 2023 at 10:00 AM.
Which restore point gives the company the best RPO?

A. June 12,2023,9:30 AM

B. June 12,2023,5:00 AM

C. June 12,2023, 1:00 PM

D. June 12,2023,8:00 AM

Correct Answer:A
Given the company has an RPO set at 4 hours, the restore point that gives the best RPO is the one closest to the time of the disaster without going over the disaster's timestamp. Since the disaster occurred on June 12, 2023, at 10:00 AM, the restore point at June 12, 2023, 9:30 AM would be the most recent one within the RPO threshold. This restore point minimizes data loss and provides the most current data before the disaster. References:

Question 24

An engineer needs to back up the data on a NAS file share, located on the company’s main production site.
Which option would increase the performance of the job?

A. Deploy the backup proxy and the cache repository on the same network as the NAS.

B. Assign a high priority to this job.

C. Assign Veeam WAN accelerators to the job.

D. Deploy the backup proxy and the cache repository on a dedicated backup network.

Correct Answer:A
Placing the backup proxy and cache repository on the same network as the NAS file share helps to increase the performance of the backup job due to reduced latency and higher network speeds. This configuration allows for faster communication and data transfer between the NAS and the backup components, leading to more efficient backup operations.References:
