VMCE Backup Infrastructure and Repositories 5

Question 1

What is the primary function of the Veeam Backup & Replication configuration database?

Accepted Answer

Stores infrastructure settings, job configurations, and session history

Answer

The configuration database (Microsoft SQL Server or PostgreSQL) stores all Veeam settings, job definitions, credentials, and session history.

Question 2

Which Veeam component must be deployed to enable WAN-optimized replication to a remote site?

Accepted Answer

WAN Accelerator

Answer

WAN Accelerators must be deployed on both source and target sites to deduplicate and compress replication traffic across slow WAN links.

Question 3

In Veeam, what is a 'backup chain' and how does a forward incremental chain differ from a reverse incremental chain?

Accepted Answer

Forward incremental keeps a full backup at the start; reverse incremental keeps the most recent full backup current

Answer

Forward incremental starts with a full backup and appends incrementals; reverse incremental constantly updates the full backup, keeping it current with the latest data.

Question 4

Which Veeam setting controls how many days backup files are retained before they are automatically deleted?

Accepted Answer

Retention Policy (restore points)

Answer

The Retention Policy setting defines how many restore points (or days) Veeam keeps before automatically removing older backup files.

Question 5

What is the recommended architecture for a Veeam deployment protecting more than 500 VMs to ensure scalability?

Accepted Answer

Distributed deployment with multiple proxies and repositories

Answer

For large environments, Veeam recommends a distributed architecture with multiple backup proxies and repositories to parallelize workload and eliminate bottlenecks.
