  1. What is 'Planned Failover' in Veeam and when should it be used?

    Answer: A controlled switchover to the replica performed before a planned maintenance or migration

    Planned Failover is a graceful migration to the replica where Veeam performs a final sync of the source VM, minimizing data loss, ideal for scheduled maintenance windows.

  2. After a successful Failback in Veeam, what is the recommended next step?

    Answer: Commit the failback to make the production VM active and re-enable replication

    After failback, you commit it to confirm the production VM is now authoritative, after which Veeam can resume normal replication from the production site.

  3. Which recovery option allows you to restore a VM replica to a specific point-in-time state without full failover?

    Answer: Restore from replica restore point

    Veeam lets you restore a VM directly from a specific replica restore point, effectively rolling the replica back to a previous state without initiating a full failover.

  4. What network mapping setting in a Veeam replication job ensures the replica VM connects to the correct isolated test network?

    Answer: Network mapping in the replication job's network settings

    Network mapping in the replication job's network settings maps source VM networks to target networks, ensuring the replica connects to the appropriate network at the DR site.

  5. When using Veeam's 'Re-IP' feature during failover, what does it accomplish?

    Answer: It automatically changes the IP address of the replica VM to match DR site addressing

    Re-IP rules change the IP configuration of a Windows or Linux VM replica during failover so the VM operates correctly with DR site network addressing.

  6. In Veeam replication, what is 'WAN Acceleration' primarily designed to optimize?

    Answer: Deduplication and compression of replication traffic over a WAN link

    WAN Acceleration uses global deduplication and compression caching on both source and target WAN accelerators to significantly reduce data transferred over slow WAN links.

  7. What is the effect of enabling 'application-aware processing' on a replication job for a SQL Server VM?

    Answer: It ensures the VM is quiesced at the application level for a crash-consistent SQL replica

    Application-aware processing invokes VSS inside the guest to quiesce SQL Server, producing an application-consistent replica that can be safely recovered without transaction log issues.
