Read the first 7 Data Recovery & Disaster Recovery Planning flashcards as text

  1. In Veeam, what is the purpose of the 'Sure Backup' job?

    Answer: To automatically verify backup recoverability by running VMs in an isolated environment

    Sure Backup verifies backup recoverability by starting VMs from backup files in an isolated virtual lab and running automated tests.

  2. When performing a Veeam Instant VM Recovery, where does the VM initially run from?

    Answer: The backup repository datastore directly via a vPower NFS mount

    Instant VM Recovery mounts the backup file as a vPower NFS datastore so the VM runs directly from the repository with no data migration initially required.

  3. What is the maximum recommended duration for a Veeam virtual lab used in Sure Backup before performance degrades significantly?

    Answer: 4 hours

    Veeam recommends keeping virtual lab sessions under 4 hours to avoid excessive redo log growth and performance degradation.

  4. Which Veeam feature allows granular recovery of individual files from a VM backup without booting the entire VM?

    Answer: Guest File Restore

    Guest File Restore (also called File-Level Recovery) allows individual files or folders to be extracted from a VM backup without a full VM restore.

  5. In a Veeam DR plan, what is the function of a 'Failback' operation?

    Answer: Returning workloads from the DR site back to the primary production environment

    Failback is the process of migrating workloads that were failed over to the DR site back to the original production environment after recovery.

  6. Which RPO scenario would best suit Veeam VM replication compared to standard backup jobs?

    Answer: RPO of minutes requiring near-synchronous data protection

    VM replication supports very frequent replication intervals (as low as minutes), making it ideal for aggressive RPO targets that standard backup jobs cannot meet.

  7. What Veeam technology is used to perform application-consistent backups of Microsoft SQL Server running inside a VM?

    Answer: VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service) with application-aware processing

    Veeam uses VSS with application-aware processing to quiesce SQL Server transactions and create consistent backups that can be restored without database corruption.
