VMCE Backup Job Configuration 5

Question 1

In Veeam Backup & Replication, what is the recommended approach when backing up VMs that host Microsoft SQL Server with transaction log backups configured?

Accepted Answer

Enable application-aware processing with log backup and specify the log backup frequency

Answer

Application-aware processing with Veeam's SQL log backup integration allows both VM-level and transaction log backups from a single job configuration.

Question 2

Which transport mode should be selected when backing up VMs on a VMware cluster where the backup proxy is a physical server connected via Fibre Channel to the same SAN as the datastores?

Accepted Answer

Direct SAN access mode

Answer

Direct SAN access allows the physical proxy to read VM data directly from the SAN LUN, bypassing ESXi hosts for maximum throughput.

Question 3

When a Veeam backup job is configured with 'Reverse incremental' mode, what is the structure of restore points on the repository?

Accepted Answer

The latest restore point is always a full VBK; older restore points are stored as reverse incremental VRB files

Answer

In reverse incremental mode, Veeam rolls forward incrementals into the full so the newest restore point is always a complete VBK, with older points stored as VRB deltas.

Question 4

An administrator enables 'Backup from storage snapshots' in a Veeam job. Which additional infrastructure component is required for this feature on a NetApp storage system?

Accepted Answer

Veeam Storage Integration plugin and a configured NetApp storage system in Veeam

Answer

Backup from storage snapshots requires adding the NetApp storage system to Veeam and using the storage integration plugin to leverage native array snapshots.

Question 5

What is the effect of configuring 'Limit maximum concurrent tasks' to 1 on a backup repository in Veeam?

Accepted Answer

Only one VM disk can be written to the repository at any given time, regardless of how many jobs target it

Answer

The concurrent task limit on the repository controls how many simultaneous disk write streams it accepts; setting it to 1 serializes all backup writes.
