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

  1. What is the maximum number of restore points Veeam can maintain per VM when using the 'GFS (Grandfather-Father-Son)' retention scheme?

    Answer: It depends on the configured weekly, monthly, and yearly settings

    GFS retention is fully configurable — administrators define how many weekly, monthly, and yearly restore points to retain, determining the total.

  2. When Veeam Backup & Replication replicates a VM to a DR site, what is stored at the DR site?

    Answer: A fully registered VM with restore points in VM snapshot format

    VM replication creates a full VM replica at the DR site registered with the destination vCenter/ESXi, ready for immediate failover.

  3. Which Veeam feature automatically tests backup recoverability by restoring VMs in an isolated network and verifying they boot successfully?

    Answer: SureBackup

    SureBackup jobs automate the verification of backup recoverability by restoring VMs into a Virtual Lab and running configurable tests.

  4. In Veeam's Virtual Lab used by SureBackup, how does network isolation prevent the lab VMs from impacting the production network?

    Answer: A vNetwork Appliance (masquerading router) provides isolated yet routable lab access

    Veeam's Virtual Lab uses a vNetwork Appliance that masquerades production IP addresses, providing isolated connectivity without conflicting with production.

  5. What is the primary purpose of Veeam's 'Backup Copy Job' compared to a standard backup job?

    Answer: Copies existing backup files to a secondary location for offsite retention

    A Backup Copy Job reads from an existing backup repository and copies restore points to a secondary (often offsite) repository, fulfilling the 3-2-1 rule.

  6. When performing Instant VM Recovery, where does the VM actually run during the recovery process?

    Answer: Directly from the backup repository storage via NFS/iSCSI mount

    Instant VM Recovery boots the VM directly from the compressed backup file by mounting the repository as a datastore to the ESXi host.

  7. Which Amazon Web Services storage tier does Veeam's SOBR Capacity Tier natively support for long-term cloud archival?

    Answer: Amazon S3 and S3-compatible object storage

    Veeam SOBR Capacity Tier supports Amazon S3 and any S3-compatible object storage for long-term, cost-effective backup archival.
