On Monday, a backup administrator found out that some backup jobs were missing from a configuration. They want to roll back the configuration database to Friday's state. Which configuration restore mode should be used?

1. A. Veeam Explorer for Microsoft SQL
2. B. Instant SQL Recovery
3. C. Restore
4. D. Migrate

Correct Answer: C
To roll back the configuration database to Friday's state, the backup administrator should use the 'Restore' mode available in Veeam Backup & Replication. This mode allows for the entire configuration backup to be restored, which includes the job settings and history, and brings the configuration database back to the state it was in at the time of the backup.References:

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. How is this accomplished?

1. A. Create an Active Directory based protection group targeted at an Active Directory security group.
2. B. Install a configuration file on each of the accounting servers that adds it to the protection group.
3. C. Create a protection group and set it to automatically scan every three hours for new servers.
4. D. Create a protection group that reads a CSV file listing the accounting servers.

Correct Answer: A
To ensure that all servers for the accounting department are backed up and any new servers added to the department are automatically included in the protection group, the best approach is to use an Active Directory (AD) based protection group. Therefore, the correct answer is A: Create an Active Directory based protection group targeted at an Active Directory security group.
By leveraging an AD-based protection group, the Veeam administrator can specify an AD security group that encompasses all user accounts or computer accounts (in this case, servers) associated with the accounting department. As new servers are introduced and added to this AD security group, Veeam Backup & Replication will automatically detect these new members during its periodic rescan (which can be scheduled as per the administrator's preferences) and include them in the protection group. This method not only automates the inclusion of new servers into the backup routine but also simplifies the management of backup policies for dynamically changing environments such as the accounting department's server infrastructure.

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.

There is a company-wide mandate to migrate operations off corporate datacenters and over to AWS, Azure, and GCE. The Veeam engineer has backups of VMware, Hyper-V, and Nutanix VMs stored in on-premises repositories. The performance of a test restore was not satisfactory.
Which solution should the engineer deploy?

1. A. Caching servers on premises and in the cloud
2. B. Veeam Wan Accelerators on premises and in the cloud
3. C. Upgraded bandwidth to the Internet
4. D. Helper appliance in the cloud

Correct Answer: B
To improve the performance of test restores from on-premises repositories to cloud environments (AWS, Azure, and GCE), deploying Veeam WAN Accelerators on premises and in the cloud is recommended. WAN Accelerators optimize data transfer over the network, reducing the amount of data that needs to be transferred and thereby improving restore performance.References: Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, Veeam WAN Accelerator Guide

A Veeam administrator wants to diagnose known issues in the configuration and performance of backup infrastructure without involving Veeam Technical Support.
What feature of Veeam One should the administrator use?

1. A. Intelligent Diagnostics
2. B. Log Shipping Servers
3. C. Business View
4. D. Best Practices Analyzer

Correct Answer: A
For diagnosing known issues in the configuration and performance of the backup infrastructure without the direct involvement of Veeam Technical Support, the administrator should utilize A: Intelligent Diagnostics in Veeam One. Intelligent Diagnostics is a feature designed to proactively detect known issues within the Veeam backup infrastructure by analyzing the system's event logs, performance data, and configurations. It uses predefined patterns and rules derived from common issues identified by Veeam Support to provide early warnings and suggest corrective actions. This self-service approach enables administrators to address potential problems before they impact operations, enhancing the reliability and efficiency of the backup infrastructure.
