An administrator is asked to change a backup copy job from periodic mode to immediate mode. How can this be accomplished?

1. A. Enable immediate in the backup copy job settings drop down.
2. B. Right click on the job name and choose immediate.
3. C. Copy the original backup copy job to a different folder and remap the job.
4. D. Create a new backup copy job and delete the original job.

Correct Answer: D
To change a backup copy job from periodic mode to immediate mode, the most straightforward approach is D: Create a new backup copy job and delete the original job. Veeam Backup & Replication does not directly allow changing the mode of an existing backup copy job from periodic to immediate within the job settings. Therefore, the recommended practice is to set up a new backup copy job with the desired settings, in this case, immediate mode, which starts copying backups as soon as they are created by the primary backup job. After the new backup copy job is configured and tested to confirm it meets the requirements, the original periodic mode job can be safely deleted. This ensures a seamless transition to the immediate mode operation without risking data protection consistency or coverage.

In the war against ransomware, a company decided to implement tape backup. The infrastructure contains VMware VMs and physical Windows servers. What is the most efficient approach to getting all servers onto tape?

1. A. Create file to tape jobs and write directly to tape.
2. B. Create backup jobs, then create file to tape jobs.
3. C. Create backup to tape jobs and write directly to tape.
4. D. Create backup jobs, then create backup to tape jobs.

Correct Answer: D
The most efficient approach to getting all servers onto tape, considering there are both VMware VMs and physical Windows servers in the infrastructure, is to first create backup jobs that target both the VMs and the physical servers. After these backups are stored on a disk-based repository, you can then create backup to tape jobs. This method leverages Veeam's ability to handle both types of environments and ensures that all data is efficiently backed up to tape for offsite storage and ransomware protection. References:

What is a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) in regards to disaster recovery?

1. A. The number of recovery points created during the backup process
2. B. The acceptable data loss measured in time that can be tolerated
3. C. The maximum amount of time it takes to restore a system
4. D. The total cost associated with recovering a system

Correct Answer: B
In the context of disaster recovery, the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is best defined by option B: The acceptable data loss measured in time that can be tolerated. RPO is a critical metric in disaster recovery and business continuity planning that specifies the maximum amount of data (measured in time) that an organization can afford to lose in the event of a disaster or system failure. It effectively sets the limit for how frequently data backups or replications should occur. For instance, an RPO of 4 hours means that the organization must be able to recover data from no more than 4 hours prior to the disaster, implying that backup or replication operations should occur at least every 4 hours. Establishing an RPO is essential for developing an effective data protection strategy, as it guides the choice of backup methodologies and technologies to meet the organization's tolerance for data loss.

An engineer is configuring Veeam Backup and Replication for an organization to protect a VMware environment using vSAN. The backup proxy must be isolated from the VMkernel.
Which transport mode should the engineer use?

1. A. Direct NFS access
2. B. Direct SAN access
3. C. Network mode
4. D. Virtual appliance

Correct Answer: D
When configuring Veeam Backup & Replication in a VMware vSAN environment, the best practice is to use the Virtual Appliance transport mode. This mode is also referred to as "hot-add" and allows the backup proxy to mount VM disks directly from the datastore. This method is more isolated from the VMkernel network traffic, as it does not require network connectivity to the hosts to retrieve data, thus providing a level of isolation that meets the requirement stated in the question. The Direct NFS and Direct SAN options are not applicable for vSAN, and Network mode would not provide the necessary isolation from VMkernel network traffic.
