Read the first 7 Data Recovery Scenarios flashcards as text

  1. A Veeam administrator is performing a bare-metal restore of a physical Windows server using Veeam Agent. Which boot media is required to initiate the process?

    Answer: Veeam Recovery Media created by Veeam Agent for Windows

    Veeam Agent for Windows includes a Recovery Media wizard that creates bootable media used to initiate bare-metal restores of physical machines.

  2. During restore, a Veeam administrator needs to restore a VM but exclude specific virtual disks from the recovery. Where is this option configured?

    Answer: In the 'Disks' step of the restore wizard

    The restore wizard includes a 'Disks' step where specific virtual disks can be included or excluded from the recovery operation.

  3. A Veeam administrator wants to validate that a backup can be successfully recovered before a DR event occurs. Which SureBackup setting controls how long the VM boots before being considered successfully verified?

    Answer: Maximum allowed boot time

    The 'Maximum allowed boot time' setting in SureBackup defines how long Veeam waits for a VM to become responsive before marking verification as failed.

  4. A Veeam-protected VM is recovered using Instant VM Recovery. The administrator then needs to permanently commit the recovered VM to production storage. Which action achieves this?

    Answer: Use the 'Migrate to Production' option in the Instant Recovery session

    The 'Migrate to Production' option in the active Instant Recovery session triggers Storage vMotion to move the VM from vPower NFS to production datastore.

  5. A Veeam administrator needs to restore Exchange emails for a user but only has access to a backup of the Exchange server from 5 days ago. The user needs emails from 3 days ago. What Veeam Explorer for Exchange feature helps?

    Answer: Point-in-time transaction log replay to extend recovery to 3 days ago

    Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange can replay Exchange transaction logs on top of an older database backup to extend the recovery point closer to the current date.

  6. An administrator performs a Veeam restore to a production VMware environment and selects 'Overwrite' for the existing VM. What is the risk of this choice?

    Answer: The existing VM and its data are permanently deleted before restore completes

    Choosing 'Overwrite' deletes the existing VM from disk before the restore begins, meaning if the restore fails, both the original and restored VM could be lost.

  7. Which Veeam recovery technique allows an administrator to recover specific files from a VM backup by mounting the backup as a network share and browsing it from the Veeam console?

    Answer: Veeam Backup Browser (Guest OS File Restore)

    Guest OS File Restore (Veeam Backup Browser) mounts the backup and presents a browsable file tree in the Veeam console, enabling individual file selection and recovery.
