Answer: A

Explanation:

According to the Veeam Agent for Linux User Guide1, you can use the Restore volumes option to perform bare metal recovery of your computer. However, this option requires you to boot from the Veeam Recovery Media and may take some time to complete.

Another option is to use Instant VM Recovery to VMware vSphere. This option allows you to run your Linux computer directly from a backup file as a VMware VM without restoring any data. This can significantly reduce your RTO and provide immediate access to your applications and data.
