Read the first 7 Backup Infrastructure and Repositories flashcards as text

  1. Which Veeam backup repository type supports immutability to protect against ransomware attacks?

    Answer: Linux hardened repository

    The Linux hardened repository uses immutable backup files via the chattr +i attribute, preventing modification or deletion for a configurable period.

  2. What is required on a Linux server to enable the hardened repository immutability feature in Veeam?

    Answer: A non-root account with specific sudo permissions

    A non-root account with specific sudo rights is required so Veeam can set file immutability without needing persistent root access.

  3. In Veeam, which backup mode reads only the changed data blocks since the last backup by querying Changed Block Tracking?

    Answer: Incremental Backup

    Incremental backup reads only changed data blocks since the last backup session using VMware CBT or Hyper-V RCT.

  4. Which Veeam configuration backup option stores the backup server configuration in an encrypted archive?

    Answer: Configuration Backup with password

    Setting a password on the Veeam configuration backup encrypts the archive, protecting credentials and sensitive infrastructure data.

  5. What is the purpose of the GFS (Grandfather-Father-Son) retention policy in Veeam?

    Answer: Retaining specific weekly, monthly, and yearly restore points long-term

    GFS retention creates long-term restore points by flagging certain weekly, monthly, and yearly backups for extended retention beyond the standard policy.

  6. When configuring a SOBR Capacity Tier with Amazon S3, which credential type does Veeam support for authentication?

    Answer: Both IAM roles and access key/secret key

    Veeam supports both IAM role-based authentication and access key/secret key pairs when configuring Amazon S3 as a Capacity Tier.

  7. Which Veeam feature periodically validates backup integrity by performing a test restore from the backup repository?

    Answer: SureBackup

    SureBackup automatically starts VMs from backups in an isolated virtual lab to verify recoverability and application health.
