Read the first 7 Repository and Storage Management flashcards as text

  1. What is the purpose of the Veeam Data Mover service running on a repository server?

    Answer: It transfers data between source and target components during backup and restore jobs

    The Veeam Data Mover is a runtime process that handles data transfer between infrastructure components such as source hosts and backup repositories.

  2. Which repository type in Veeam leverages native deduplication and compression provided by the underlying storage system?

    Answer: Deduplicating storage appliance repository

    Deduplicating storage appliance repositories (such as Dell EMC Data Domain or HPE StoreOnce) offload deduplication and compression to the appliance's native capabilities.

  3. When configuring a Scale-out Backup Repository, what is the role of the performance tier?

    Answer: It acts as the primary landing zone for new backups and restores

    The performance tier in a SOBR serves as the primary storage layer where new backups are initially written and from which fast restores are performed.

  4. What happens to existing backup chains stored on a repository when you change the backup file format from per-machine with separate metadata files to per-machine without separate metadata files?

    Answer: Existing backup chains remain in the old format; the new format applies only to new backup chains created after the change

    Format changes are not retroactive; existing backup chains retain their original format and only newly created chains use the updated format.

  5. Which Veeam repository role allows a CIFS (SMB) share to be used while still enabling Veeam-managed data movers for improved throughput?

    Answer: Gateway server added as a Windows-based repository pointing to the SMB path

    A Windows server acting as a gateway mounts the CIFS share and runs the Veeam Data Mover locally, giving Veeam more control over data transfer compared to a pure network share.

  6. What is the maximum recommended percentage of repository capacity that Veeam should use before triggering a warning by default?

    Answer: 85%

    By default, Veeam warns administrators when repository free space drops to 10 GB or when capacity utilization reaches 85%.

  7. In Veeam Backup & Replication, which setting on a repository controls how many concurrent tasks can write backup data to it simultaneously?

    Answer: Concurrent task limit

    The concurrent task limit on a repository defines how many simultaneous backup or restore tasks are allowed to read from or write to that repository.
