VMCE Backup Job Configuration 3

Question 1

Which backup method creates a full backup file that references blocks from previous backup chains to avoid storing duplicate data?

Accepted Answer

Synthetic full backup

Answer

A synthetic full is assembled on the repository from existing incremental blocks without reading data from the source VM again.

Question 2

What is the effect of enabling 'Encrypt backup files' in a Veeam backup job without configuring a password hint?

Accepted Answer

Backups are encrypted but recovery without the password is impossible if the Veeam configuration database is lost

Answer

Without the configuration database, there is no way to recover the password if no hint is provided, making the backup unrestorable.

Question 3

A backup job is configured with 'Forward incremental' backup mode and no synthetic or active full is scheduled. What will Veeam create after the initial full backup on subsequent runs?

Accepted Answer

Incremental VIB files referencing the last full

Answer

In forever-forward incremental mode, every subsequent run creates a VIB (incremental) file that references the original full VBK.

Question 4

When configuring a backup job's guest OS processing credentials, what is the minimum permission required for the account used for application-aware processing on a Windows VM?

Accepted Answer

Local administrator on the guest VM

Answer

Application-aware processing requires local administrator rights on the guest to interact with VSS writers and application logs.

Question 5

In Veeam, which feature allows a backup job to exclude specific VM disks (e.g., a data drive) from being backed up?

Accepted Answer

Excluded disks configuration under VM processing settings

Answer

Per-VM disk exclusion settings let administrators omit specific virtual disks from backup to save space or meet policy requirements.
