Question 1

According to the specified requirements, it is necessary to have backups encrypted. If using Veeam's native encryption, which repository type will be impacted the most?

AWindows ReFS with block cloning.

BHardened Repository with XFS reflink cloning.

CSMB share.

DDeduplicating storage appliance.

Answer : D

If using Veeam's native encryption, the repository type that will be impacted the most is the deduplicating storage appliance. This is because Veeam Backup & Replication uses different encryption keys for every job session, which makes the encrypted data blocks appear as different even if they contain duplicate data. This reduces the deduplication ratio and increases the storage consumption on the deduplicating appliance. If you want to achieve a higher deduplication ratio, you can disable data encryption or use the encryption feature on the deduplicating appliance itself1

Question 2

During deeper technical discovery it was uncovered that that the customer also has a Fibre Channel SAN that needs protection. Veeam University Hospital asks about the option of performing backup from storage snapshots. What component(s) will this require?

AVeeam backup proxies and repositories running on the servers.

BVeeam backup proxies running on physical servers.

CVeeam backup proxies running the Windows servers.

DVeeam backup proxies running on Linux serves.

Answer : B

To perform backup from storage snapshots for a Fibre Channel SAN, you need to deploy one or more physical servers that will act as backup proxies and connect them to the SAN fabric. This is because Veeam Backup & Replication needs to access the storage system over the Fibre Channel protocol, which is not supported by virtual machines. The backup proxies will read data from the storage snapshots and transfer it to the backup repositories1

Question 3

How would you configure replication with seeding, considering this deployment will have a Veeam Backup Server in both the primary and secondary site?

AOn the Veeam Backup & Replication server at the primary site, create a backup job of the source machine from the primary site. At the secondary site import seeding data from this backup job. Create a replica job pointing to this backup job using re-mapping.

BOn the Veeam Backup & Replication server at the primary site, create a backup job and backup copy job sending data to the secondary site. At the secondary site, create a replica job pointing to the repository with the backup copy data.

COn the Veeam Backup & Replication server at the primary site, create a backup job of the source virtual machine from the primary site. At the secondary site, create a replica job pointing to the repository with the backup job data.

DOn the Veeam Backup & Replication server at the secondary site, create a backup job of the source virtual machine from the primary site. At the secondary site, create a backup copy job pulling the data from the primary and create a replica job pointing to the repository with the backup copy data.

Answer : C

Option C uses replica seeding to reduce the network traffic during the initial replication. By creating a backup job of the source VM at the primary site and pointing the replica job to that backup repository at the secondary site, Veeam Backup & Replication can restore the VM from the backup and synchronize it with the latest state of the source VM. Then it can use the restored VM as a replica2

Question 4

During further discussions, the 3-2-1 rule was recommended. What is the most efficient way to protect primary and secondary sites following the 3-2-1 rule?

AFrom existing backups at the primary site, create a backup copy to the secondary site. Offload backup data to object storage using Scale-out Backup Repository capacity tier.

BSend replicas directly from the primary to the secondary site. Backup replicas on the secondary site and tier this to object storage using Scale-out Backup Repository capacity tier.

CSend backups directly from the primary to the secondary site, avoiding duplicate data storage. Tier backup data to object storage using Scale-out Backup Repository capacity tier.

DUse storage snapshot support to backup a virtual machine using the secondary array. Backup snapshots on the secondary site and tier this to object storage using Scale-out Backup Repository capacity tier.

Answer : A

Option A follows the 3-2-1 rule by having three copies of data (the original production data, the backup at the primary site, and the backup copy at the secondary site), two different media types (local disk and object storage), and one copy off-site (the backup copy at the secondary site). This option also reduces the amount of traffic sent over the network by using existing backups as seeds for backup copies, and reduces the storage costs by using cloud tier to move older backups to cheaper and unlimited cloud storage1

Question 5

Upon further discussions with the database administrador, it was discovered that they would preferent their transaction log backups to exist alongside their image-level SQL application aware backups residing on object storage. How can this be accomplished?

AUsing SQL native tools, send logs to a dedicated virtual machine, protect with image-level backups, using Scale-out Backup Repository capacity tier for offload.

BUsing virtual machine backup jobs with log shipping enabled, send this to a Scale-out Backup Repository and use Scale-out Backup Repository capacity tier for offload.

CUsing SQL native tools, send logs to dedicated virtual machine, schedule a task calling a cloud vendor object storage CLI for offload.

DUsing virtual machine backup jobs, send the log shipping data to a dedicated repository, protect with an image-level backup, using Scale-out Backup Repository capacity tier for offload.

Answer : B

* Virtual machine backup jobs with log shipping enabled allow you to create image-level backups of SQL Server databases and also back up the transaction logs periodically12.

* Scale-out Backup Repository is a logical entity that groups several backup repositories into a single pool of storage, allowing for better backup performance, scalability, and management3.

* Scale-out Backup Repository capacity tier is a feature that allows you to offload older backup files to a public cloud object storage, such as Amazon S3 or Azure Blob Storage .

The other options are not as effective or efficient, as they either do not use Veeam features, do not offload to object storage, or do not create image-level backups.

Question 6

The customer has stated that synthetic operations and backups copy jobs must be completed in the desired window. Which components should be sized correctly to ensure that this will be successful?

AProxy and repository servers.

BRepository and gateway servers.

CProxy and gateway servers.

DVeeam Backup & Replication and gateway servers.

Answer : A

According to the Veeam Backup & Replication Best Practice Guide1, the proxy and repository servers are the components that should be sized correctly to ensure that synthetic operations and backup copy jobs can be completed in the desired window. This is because:

* The proxy server is responsible for retrieving data from the source and sending it to the target. The proxy server performance depends on the CPU, memory, network, and storage resources available. The proxy server should have enough CPU cores and memory to handle concurrent tasks, as well as sufficient network bandwidth and storage throughput to transfer data efficiently.

* The repository server is responsible for storing backup files on the target storage. The repository server performance depends on the CPU, memory, network, and storage resources available. The repository server should have enough CPU cores and memory to handle concurrent tasks, as well as sufficient network bandwidth and storage throughput to write data efficiently. The repository server should also support the backup format and retention policy chosen for the backup copy job.

Question 7

Based on the customer Windows and Linux file server backup requirements, which component will help them meet their stated objectives?

ADeploy Veeam Backup & Replication console and set RBAC policies to Administrator Role.

BAdd Windows and Linux server, enable indexing of backups and ensure authenticated users are configured to appropriate RBAC policy.

CAdd a Windows Server, enable indexing of backups and ensure authenticated users are configured to appropriate AD Groups policies.

DUse Backup Enterprise Manager with indexing enabled on virtual machine and Agent backups with RBAC policies.

Answer : D

Based on the customer Windows and Linux file server backup requirements, the best component to help them meet their stated objectives is Backup Enterprise Manager with indexing enabled on virtual machine and Agent backups with RBAC policies. This is because:

* Backup Enterprise Manager allows the customer to manage and monitor backup jobs across multiple backup servers from a single web-based interface1.

* Indexing enables the customer to perform file-level recovery from the backups of Windows and Linux servers, as well as search for files across all backups2.

* RBAC policies allow the customer to delegate permissions to different users and groups for performing file-level recovery, based on their roles and restore scopes3.
