Read the first 7 Virtualization & Cloud Infrastructure Management flashcards as text

  1. When backing up VMware vSphere VMs with Veeam, which transport mode reads data directly from the ESXi host's storage without going through the network?

    Answer: Direct SAN access

    Direct SAN access transport mode allows the Veeam proxy to read VM data directly from the shared SAN storage, bypassing the ESXi host network.

  2. In a Hyper-V environment, what is the role of the Veeam Off-Host Backup Proxy?

    Answer: It offloads backup processing from the Hyper-V host to a separate server

    The off-host backup proxy offloads backup processing to a dedicated server, reducing the CPU and I/O load on the production Hyper-V host.

  3. What vSphere feature does Veeam leverage to create crash-consistent VM snapshots without quiescing the guest OS?

    Answer: vStorage APIs for Data Protection (VADP)

    Veeam uses VMware's VADP framework to interact with the ESXi snapshot subsystem and read VM disk data during backup.

  4. When configuring Veeam to back up Nutanix AHV VMs, which component must be deployed on the Nutanix cluster?

    Answer: Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV proxy appliance

    Veeam deploys a purpose-built proxy virtual appliance on the Nutanix AHV cluster to handle snapshot creation and data mover functions.

  5. Which Veeam capability allows administrators to restore individual guest OS files from a VM backup without performing a full VM restore?

    Answer: Guest file system browsing (FLR)

    File-level restore (FLR) mounts the backup and allows browsing the guest file system to restore individual files or folders.

  6. In Veeam's Scale-out Backup Repository (SOBR), what is the purpose of the 'Performance Tier'?

    Answer: Fast initial backup landing zone using high-performance extents

    The Performance Tier consists of high-performance extents that serve as the landing zone for new backups before optional tiering to Capacity Tier.

  7. What happens to VMware CBT (Changed Block Tracking) data when a VM snapshot is deleted in vSphere?

    Answer: CBT continues to track changes correctly after snapshot consolidation

    Deleting a snapshot triggers consolidation, but VMware CBT continues tracking changed blocks correctly from that point forward.
