Read the first 7 Veeam Components and Architecture flashcards as text

  1. What is the purpose of the Veeam WAN Accelerator in a backup architecture?

    Answer: Deduplicating and compressing data for efficient transfer over slow WAN links

    The Veeam WAN Accelerator uses global deduplication and compression to reduce data transferred over WAN links for backup copy and replication jobs.

  2. In Veeam's Scale-out Backup Repository, what does the 'Performance Tier' refer to?

    Answer: The local high-performance extents used for primary backup writes

    The Performance Tier in a SOBR consists of local high-performance storage extents where backups are initially written.

  3. Which Veeam service handles the actual data movement on a managed server (proxy or repository) during backup operations?

    Answer: Veeam Transport Service

    The Veeam Transport Service (also called the Data Mover) runs on managed servers and handles actual data reading, writing, and transfer.

  4. What happens to the Veeam Backup Proxy role when no dedicated proxy is configured in the environment?

    Answer: The Backup Server itself acts as the default proxy

    If no dedicated proxy is configured, the Veeam Backup Server automatically assumes the backup proxy role.

  5. Which Veeam component is required on the service provider side to allow tenants to use Veeam Cloud Connect for DRaaS (replication)?

    Answer: Veeam Cloud Connect Replication Gateway

    The Cloud Connect Replication Gateway on the service provider side facilitates VM replication from tenant sites to the provider's infrastructure.

  6. In the Veeam architecture, what is the role of the Veeam Broker Service?

    Answer: Manages communication between Veeam components and vSphere/Hyper-V infrastructure

    The Veeam Broker Service maintains persistent connections with hypervisor APIs (vSphere, Hyper-V) and caches infrastructure data for faster job execution.

  7. What is the minimum number of Veeam Backup Proxies required for a Veeam backup infrastructure to function?

    Answer: 1 — the Backup Server acts as proxy if none are dedicated

    At minimum, one proxy is required — the Backup Server itself fulfills this role automatically if no dedicated proxies are added.
