What type of backup can Veeam Plug-ins for Enterprise Applications provide?

1. A. A complete backup of the database and the host server
2. B. A transactionally consistent backup of the database and its database logs
3. C. A transactionally consistent backup of active director
4. D. A backup of changes to the database after the agent backs up the whole server

Correct Answer: B
Veeam Plug-ins for Enterprise Applications provide a transactionally consistent backup of databases and their database logs. This ensures that the backup is not only complete but also consistent at a transactional level, capturing all transactions up to the point of the backup. This is crucial for databases to ensure data integrity and consistency when restored.References: Veeam Plug-ins for Enterprise Applications Guide, Veeam Database Backup Best Practices

A customer wants to start an on-demand lab from backup files for several mission critical VMs.
What SureBackup feature should be configured to identify the necessary VMs?

1. A. Application Group
2. B. Virtual Lab
3. C. Staged Restore
4. D. Secure Restore

Correct Answer: A
When starting an on-demand lab from backup files for mission-critical VMs, the appropriate SureBackup feature to configure is A: Application Group. An Application Group in Veeam Backup & Replication is a predefined group of VMs that are started together in the SureBackup job. This feature is designed to ensure that interdependent VMs, such as those comprising a multi-tier application, are started in a sequence that respects their operational dependencies, allowing for comprehensive verification and testing. The Application Group can include the mission-critical VMs and any associated VMs required for the application environment to function correctly, ensuring that all components are available and interact as expected within the isolated on-demand lab environment. This setup facilitates effective testing or troubleshooting in a manner that closely mirrors the production environment without impacting live operations.

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.

For general data protection regulation (GDPR) compliance, Veeam can add a location tag to which component?

1. A. File copy job
2. B. Proxy server
3. C. Scale-out Backup Repositories
4. D. WAN accelerator

Correct Answer: C
For GDPR compliance, Veeam provides the capability to add location tags to Scale-out Backup Repositories. Location tags in Veeam Backup & Replication are used to identify the location of data, which is essential for adhering to data sovereignty laws like GDPR. Location tagging helps ensure that data residency requirements are met by keeping data in a defined geographical area. In the context of GDPR, it's important to manage and control where personal data is stored and processed. Proxy servers, file copy jobs, and WAN accelerators do not have the functionality to be tagged for GDPR compliance in the same manner as repositories within Veeam Backup & Replication.

Company security policy states that backups must be copied to a remote location within 8 hours.
What step can a backup administrator take to receive an alert automatically if the backup copy job violates the company's policy?

1. A. Set a Data Protection alert in Enterprise Manager
2. B. Set a backup copy window alert on the repository
3. C. Set up post-thaw scripts to send an email
4. D. Enable the appropriate RPO monitor

Correct Answer: D
To receive an automatic alert if the backup copy job violates the company's 8-hour policy for copying backups to a remote location, the backup administrator should enable the appropriate Recovery Point Objective (RPO) monitor. This feature tracks the age of the latest backup and alerts when it exceeds the defined RPO.References: Veeam Backup & Replication Documentation, Veeam RPO Monitoring and Reporting Guide
