Read the first 7 Replication and Recovery flashcards as text

  1. What is the purpose of 'replica target datastore free space' threshold in Veeam replication job settings?

    Answer: It warns or stops the job when the DR datastore has insufficient free space for replica operations

    Veeam monitors DR target datastore free space and can warn or abort the replication job if space falls below the configured threshold, preventing failed replications.

  2. In Veeam's replication architecture, what role does the 'target proxy' play?

    Answer: It receives data from the source proxy and writes it to the replica VM at the DR site

    The target proxy receives the replicated data stream from the source proxy and writes the VM blocks to the replica datastore at the DR site.

  3. What Veeam capability allows you to failover multiple VMs simultaneously as a coordinated group?

    Answer: Failover Plan

    A Failover Plan in Veeam lets you define an ordered group of VMs to fail over together, including boot delays and sequencing, enabling a full DR site activation in one action.

  4. When Veeam performs Failback using the 'Restore to original location' option, what data source does it use by default?

    Answer: The running replica VM at the DR site

    Failback using 'Restore to original location' uses the running replica VM as the source, reverse-replicating its current state back to the original production location.

  5. Which setting in a Veeam replication job controls how many simultaneous VM replication tasks can run within that job?

    Answer: Max concurrent tasks per job configured in job advanced settings

    The max concurrent tasks setting in the job's advanced settings controls how many VMs in the job replicate simultaneously, balancing speed against resource consumption.

  6. What is 'Replica Failover Test' isolation network used for in Veeam's Virtual Lab?

    Answer: To prevent the replica VM from communicating with production systems while powered on for testing

    The isolated network in Virtual Lab ensures that when a replica is powered on for testing, it cannot reach production systems, preventing duplicate IPs or accidental data writes.

  7. In Veeam replication, which VMware feature must be enabled on source VMs for incremental replication to function correctly?

    Answer: Changed Block Tracking (CBT)

    Changed Block Tracking (CBT) must be enabled on the source VM so Veeam can identify and replicate only the disk blocks that changed since the last replication cycle.
