Read the first 7 Replication and Recovery flashcards as text

  1. What occurs when you select 'Undo Failover' in Veeam after a failover has been initiated?

    Answer: The replica is rolled back to its pre-failover state and the original production VM is restored as primary

    Undo Failover reverts the replica to its last replication state before the failover, discarding changes made while the replica was running, and allows replication to resume normally.

  2. In a Veeam replication job targeting a Hyper-V environment, which component performs the data reading at the source?

    Answer: Source-side Veeam Backup Proxy deployed on the Hyper-V host

    For Hyper-V replication, a Veeam Backup Proxy deployed on or near the Hyper-V host reads source VM data using the Hyper-V VSS provider.

  3. Which Veeam feature enables you to test replica recoverability without impacting production or the replica itself?

    Answer: SureReplica (Virtual Lab-based automated replica testing)

    SureReplica uses Veeam's Virtual Lab to automatically power on and test replicas in an isolated network sandbox, verifying recoverability without touching the live replica.

  4. When configuring a Veeam replication job, what does the 'Source proxy' setting control?

    Answer: Which Veeam server reads data from the source VM and sends it toward the target

    The Source proxy is the Veeam component that reads VM data from the source datastore and transmits it (directly or via WAN accelerator) to the target proxy at the DR site.

  5. What is the RPO (Recovery Point Objective) achievable with Veeam's continuous replication mode for VMware VMs?

    Answer: Near-zero seconds using vSphere Replication integration

    By integrating with VMware vSphere Replication, Veeam can achieve near-zero RPO for VMware VMs, going well below the 15-minute minimum of standard Veeam replication jobs.

  6. After a Failback operation completes in Veeam, what is the status of the replica VM at the DR site?

    Answer: It is powered off and retained as a standby replica

    After a successful failback commit, the DR replica VM is powered off and kept as a standby replica, ready for the next replication cycle from the recovered production site.

  7. Which Veeam recovery option provides the fastest RTO when recovering a VM from a replica?

    Answer: Instant VM Recovery from replica running directly on DR datastore

    Instant VM Recovery from a replica powers the VM directly from the replica datastore within minutes, providing the fastest possible RTO while storage vMotion completes in the background.
