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?
- A . A single "periodic copy" backup copy job
- B . A single "immediate copy" backup copy job
- C . Two "immediate copy" backup copy jobs
- D . Two "periodic copy" backup copy jobs
B
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)
A Veeam administrator is creating a protection group that needs to back up all servers for the accounting department using Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows. New accounting servers must be automatically added to the protection group.

A
Explanation:
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/vbr_config_migrate.html?ver=120#step5
The "Migrate" mode is designed specifically for scenarios where you need to move the Veeam Backup & Replication server and its configuration database to new servers or locations. It ensures a smooth transition without data loss or service interruption. This mode allows you to migrate the entire configuration seamlessly.
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?
- A . Use periodic copy (pruning) mode, keeping 180 days of retention.
- B . Use immediate copy (mirroring) mode, keeping 62 days of retention and 26 weekly GFS restore points.
- C . Use periodic copy (pruning) mode, keeping 62 days of retention and six monthly GFS restore points.
- D . Use immediate copy (mirroring) mode, keeping 180 days of retention.
B
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).
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.

D
Explanation:
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/direct_san_access.html?ver=120
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?
- A . Restore the files using the "Versioning" function. Files will be prefixed with numbers (1-, 2-, 3-, etc.).
- B . Restore the files using the "Overwrite" function. Original files will be renamed.
- C . Restore the files using the "Hold" function. The director can then determine the status of the original and restored files.
- D . Restore the files using the "Keep" function. Original files will be untouched
D
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
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?
- A . Use backup copy jobs in with High-Performance Mode enabled. Set the schedule to run every six hours.
- B . Use backup copy jobs with copy mode set to "immediate copy". Use WAN acceleration.
- C . Use backup copy jobs with copy mode set to "periodic copy" and copy every six hours.
- D . Configure the backup copy jobs with traffic throttling to 30 Mbps to limit the impact. Enable WAN acceleration.
B
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
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)?
- A . Run Veeam file restore wizard and let it restore through VIX.
- B . Start an Instant VM Recovery session and log on into the restored image to copy/paste the file to restore.
- C . It is impossible to restore the file on the VM if the mount server cannot reach it through the network.
- D . Run Veeam file restore wizard and use the "copy to" to download the file locally in a shared folder.
A
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.

What next actions are available for the failover plan?
- A . Undo, Start, Copy, Delete
- B . Cancel, Start, Edit, Delete
- C . Cancel, Start, Copy, Delete
- D . Undo, Start, Edit, Delete
D
Explanation:
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/archive/backup/110/vsphere/failover_plan_undo.html
According to the Veeam Backup & Replication user guide1, a failover plan is a set of rules that defines how VMs must be failed over to their replicas1. You can create and run failover plans for regular replicas and CDP replicas1.
After you run a failover plan, you can perform the following actions on it2:
✑ Undo ― reverts VMs in the failover plan back to their original state at the production site2.
✑ Start ― runs the failover plan again if you need to repeat the failover operation for some reason2.
✑ Edit ― modifies the settings of the failover plan, such as adding or removing VMs, changing their order or time delay1.
✑ Delete ― removes the failover plan from Veeam Backup & Replication. This does not affect the VM replicas that are used by the plan1.

A Windows VM running on Microsoft Hyper-V is protected using the file indexing option. The guest interaction proxy is offline.
Which of the following Veeam servers will be used to deploy the runtime during the backup process?
- A . Backup & Replication server
- B . Indexing database server
- C . File proxy server
- D . Virtual lab server
A
Explanation:
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/archive/backup/110/hyperv/guest_interaction_proxy.html
According to the Veeam Software Help Center1, Veeam Backup & Replication deploys runtime components on a VM guest OS to perform file indexing. These components can be either non-persistent or persistent depending on whether you have enabled application-aware processing for the VM.
If you have enabled application-aware processing for the VM, Veeam Backup & Replication uses a persistent agent component that is installed on the VM guest OS during backup job session and remains on the VM after that. In this case, if the guest interaction proxy is offline, Veeam Backup & Replication will use another available guest interaction proxy or fail over to the backup server.
If you have not enabled application-aware processing for the VM, Veeam Backup & Replication uses a non-persistent runtime component that is deployed on the fly and removed after indexing is complete. In this case, if the guest interaction proxy is offline, Veeam Backup & Replication will use another available guest interaction proxy or fail over to the backup server.

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/undo_failover.html?ver=120
An infrastructure with 50 VMs has a power outage. After the VMware cluster has booted up again, 10 medium-sized VMs have corrupted VM disk files.
Which action can be used to restore the VMs back to the production state?
- A . Use the "Restore guest files" option and restore all VM Files.
- B . Perform Restore VM Files and only restore the VM configuration files.
- C . Perform Restore VM Files and restore the VM configuration and disk files.
- D . Perform Instant VM Recovery with quick rollback.
B
Explanation:
By performing a restore of only the VM configuration files, you can quickly recreate the VM in VMware vSphere using the existing disk files on the datastore. This method avoids the need to transfer or copy large VM disk files, resulting in a faster restoration process. Note that this method assumes that the VM disk files are still intact on the datastore. If any of the VM disk files are missing or corrupted, you may need to consider alternative restoration methods or perform a full restore from the Veeam backup files.

A NAS backup job has been configured within Veeam Backup & Replication, and is completing successfully, but restore operations have been failing for the last few days.
What is causing the failure?
- A . The backup repository is sealed
- B . The server was added by using an IQN alias which is unable to be resolved
- C . The credentials added to the share are not allowed read-write access to the share, directories or files
- D . The cache repository assigned for this file share is unavailable for restore operations
C
Explanation:
If you must specify user credentials to access the shared folder, select the This share requires access credentials check box. From the Credentials drop-down list, select a credentials record for a user account that has Full Control permissions on the shared folder. To access the SMB share, you must use an account that meets either of the following requirements: If you only plan to back up the share, you can use an account with read-only permissions. If you plan not only to back up the share, but also to restore files to it, use an account with read/write permissions. https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/file_share_backup_smb_share_path_credentials.html?ver=110
