  1. What is 'SureReplica' in Veeam Backup & Replication?

    Answer: An automated replica verification that boots a replica in an isolated Virtual Lab and runs tests

    SureReplica automatically powers on replicas in an isolated Virtual Lab and executes heartbeat and custom test scripts to verify DR readiness without impacting production.

  2. Which Veeam replication option allows you to use a backup repository file as the starting point for a new replica, instead of transferring all data over the network?

    Answer: Replica seeding from a backup file

    Replica seeding from a backup file (also called backup mapping or seed) lets Veeam restore a VM from an existing backup at the DR site and then use it as the initial replica baseline, avoiding full initial transfer.

  3. In Veeam Cloud Connect, what component at the service provider side terminates replication connections from tenant Veeam servers?

    Answer: Cloud Connect Replication Gateway

    The Cloud Connect Replication Gateway at the service provider side receives and processes replication traffic from tenant Veeam Backup & Replication servers.

  4. What is the maximum number of restore points that Veeam supports for a single replica VM?

    Answer: 28

    Veeam supports up to 28 restore points per replica VM, stored as native hypervisor snapshots on the replica.

  5. During Failback in Veeam, which option allows you to fail back to a new VM at the original site rather than overwriting the original source VM?

    Answer: Failback to a new location or with different settings

    The 'Failback to a new location or with different settings' option lets you restore the replica's state to a newly created VM rather than the original source VM, useful if the original is damaged.

  6. When a Veeam replication job processes a VM with multiple disks, what controls which changed blocks are identified for replication?

    Answer: VMware CBT (Changed Block Tracking) or Hyper-V RCT (Resilient Change Tracking)

    Veeam relies on the hypervisor's native change tracking — VMware CBT or Hyper-V RCT — to identify which disk blocks have changed since the last replication cycle.

  7. In a Veeam Failover Plan, what is the purpose of the 'Boot delay' setting between VM groups?

    Answer: It sets a pause between powering on VM groups so dependent services have time to start before the next group boots

    Boot delay between VM groups ensures that infrastructure services (like domain controllers or database servers) are fully started before dependent application VMs are powered on.
