What does Veeam's Secure Restore functionality ensure during restores?

1. A. Proper rights/permissions on files and folders
2. B. Custom ports for in-flight data
3. C. 256-bit AES encryption of in-flight data
4. D. Anti-virus scanning

Correct Answer: D
Veeam's Secure Restore functionality is designed to provide an additional layer of security during the restore process, particularly to ensure that restored data is free from malware. The correct answer is D: Anti-virus scanning. Secure Restore integrates with antivirus software to scan the data being restored for malware, viruses, or other threats before it is brought back into the production environment. This capability is crucial in today's landscape, where data integrity and security are paramount, especially considering the increasing sophistication of cyber threats. By ensuring that restored data is scanned for threats, Veeam helps maintain the integrity and security of the IT environment, aligning with best practices for data protection and disaster recovery.

The administrator of a VMware environment backed up by Veeam Backup & Replication has a critical server that has crashed and will not reboot. They were able to bring it back online quickly using Instant VM Recovery so people could continue to work. What else is required to complete the recovery?

1. A. Migrate to production
2. B. Commit failover
3. C. Commit tailback
4. D. Merge delta file

Correct Answer: A
After using Instant VM Recovery to bring a critical crashed server back online quickly, the final step required to complete the recovery process is A: Migrate to production. Instant VM Recovery allows a VM to run directly from the backup file in a temporary location, enabling rapid recovery and minimal downtime. However, because the VM is running in this provisional state, it's essential to migrate it back to the production environment to ensure long-term stability and performance. The "Migrate to production" operation involves moving the running VM from the backup storage to the production storage, typically involving a storage vMotion in VMware environments or a similar process in other hypervisors. This step ensures that the VM is fully restored to its original or a new production environment, solidifying the recovery and allowing the VM to operate as part of the normal infrastructure once again.

Backup jobs are configured to local repositories. Backups must be sent from Site B to the repository on Site A. The connection between the two sites does not allow a direct backup to complete within the backup window. Which type of job and Veeam components should be used to provide the necessary protection?

1. A. A backup copy job and components 6 ? 4 ? 3 ? 2
2. B. A backup job and components 5 ? 4 ? 3 ? 2
3. C. A backup copy job and components 6?5?4?3?1?2
4. D. A backup copy job and components 6 ? 4 ? 2

Correct Answer: A
In a scenario where backups need to be sent from Site B to a repository at Site A and the direct backup cannot complete within the backup window due to connection limitations, a Backup Copy Job is the most suitable type of job. The Backup Copy Job can transfer data efficiently and with reduced impact on the production environment. The components involved would be:
✑ 6 (Repository at Site B): Where the initial backups are stored.
✑ 4 (WAN Accelerator at Site A): To optimize the data transfer over the WAN.
✑ 3 (WAN Accelerator at Site B): To prepare the backup data for transfer.
✑ 2 (Repository at Site A): The target repository for the backup copies. This configuration leverages the WAN Accelerators to reduce the amount of data that needs to travel over the WAN, thus allowing the backup copy job to complete within the available window.

A customer's NAS has multiple hardware failures, and the NAS is no longer accessible. All of the users are impacted as they need to access the NAS for day-to-day work.
Which restore method could minimize the service impact to the users?

1. A. Restore of files and folders
2. B. Instant file share recovery
3. C. Rollback to a point in time
4. D. Restore of the entire file share

Correct Answer: B
Instant file share recovery is the most effective method to minimize service impact in this scenario. This feature allows users to instantly access the NAS data directly from the backup files without having to wait for the entire file share to be restored. This approach is beneficial when quick access to data is crucial.References: Veeam Backup & Replication Documentation, Veeam NAS Backup Guide

A business has several remote sites that are backed up to the central Veeam infrastructure. After a few months, the amount of data has grown and backup copy jobs do not fit into the backup window. The current bandwidth is 20 Mbps. Management wants to avoid any additional investments.
Which option would improve backup duration?

1. A. Add more RAM to central VBR Server
2. B. Increase bandwidth to remote sites
3. C. Upgrade all remote instances to V12
4. D. Deploy WAN accelerators for remote sites

Correct Answer: D
WAN accelerators are a feature in Veeam Backup & Replication that optimize data transfer over WAN connections. By deploying WAN accelerators at both the central VBR (Veeam Backup & Replication) server location and the remote sites, data transfer can be optimized to fit into the existing backup window without the need for additional bandwidth investment. WAN accelerators work by caching repetitive patterns of data, which significantly reduces the amount of data that needs to be transferred over the network after the initial job run. This makes it a cost-effective solution for improving backup duration when bandwidth is limited.
