Read the first 7 Data Recovery & Disaster Recovery Planning flashcards as text

  1. During a Veeam restore, what is the purpose of the 'Quick Rollback' feature when used after a ransomware incident?

    Answer: It uses CBT to restore only the changed blocks since the last clean restore point, speeding recovery

    Quick Rollback leverages Changed Block Tracking to restore only the blocks that changed since a known-clean restore point, significantly accelerating recovery after malware incidents.

  2. In Veeam, what is the 'Secure Restore' feature designed to address?

    Answer: Scanning restored data for malware before bringing VMs back online

    Secure Restore integrates with antivirus engines to scan VM disk content during restore, preventing re-infection of production environments with malware present in the backup.

  3. What is the key difference between Veeam's 'Full Failover' and 'Partial Failover' in a replica scenario?

    Answer: Full Failover fails over all VMs in a replication job; Partial Failover fails over only selected VMs

    Full Failover switches all replica VMs in a job to production state, while Partial Failover allows selecting only specific VMs from the job to fail over independently.

  4. Which Veeam setting controls how many restore points are retained at the DR site for a replication job?

    Answer: Restore point retention slider in the replication job settings

    The restore point retention setting in the Veeam replication job configuration determines how many recovery points (replica snapshots) are retained at the DR site.

  5. When Veeam performs an 'Instant Disk Recovery', what is being recovered compared to Instant VM Recovery?

    Answer: A single virtual disk (VMDK/VHDX) is mounted directly to a target VM from backup

    Instant Disk Recovery mounts a specific virtual disk from a backup directly to a running target VM, enabling recovery of a single disk without a full VM restore.

  6. In Veeam DR planning, what does an 'Orchestration Plan' in Veeam Disaster Recovery Orchestrator provide beyond a standard Failover Plan?

    Answer: Automated DR testing with compliance-ready documentation and readiness checks

    Veeam DR Orchestrator extends Failover Plans with automated testing schedules, SLA tracking, and auto-generated audit-ready DR test reports for compliance purposes.

  7. Which Veeam technology allows recovery of an entire site's VMs simultaneously to a pre-tested consistent state after a catastrophic failure?

    Answer: Failover Plan with orchestrated VM group sequencing

    A Veeam Failover Plan orchestrates the simultaneous or sequenced startup of multiple replica VMs across defined groups, enabling coordinated site-level recovery after a disaster.
