VMCE Data Recovery & Disaster Recovery Planning 4

Question 1

What happens to the replica VM's state during a Veeam 'Planned Failover' compared to an emergency failover?

Accepted Answer

Planned Failover synchronizes final changes from the source before cutover, minimizing data loss

Answer

A Planned Failover performs a final replication sync from the source VM before starting the replica, minimizing data loss compared to an emergency failover where the source may already be unavailable.

Question 2

In Veeam Backup & Replication, what is the role of the 'Backup Proxy' in a recovery scenario?

Accepted Answer

It handles data processing and transport between the datastore and repository during restore

Answer

The Backup Proxy handles data transport and transformation (compression, deduplication, encryption) when moving data between the backup repository and the target datastore during restores.

Question 3

Which Veeam feature enables recovery of individual application items (emails, calendar items) from Microsoft Exchange backups?

Accepted Answer

Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange

Answer

Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Exchange provides granular item-level recovery of emails, folders, mailboxes, and calendar items directly from VM backups without a full Exchange restore.

Question 4

When configuring a Veeam replication job to a DR site, what does the 'replica seeding' feature accomplish?

Accepted Answer

It pre-populates the replica using an existing backup file, reducing initial replication bandwidth

Answer

Replica seeding initializes a replica VM using data from an existing backup file on or near the DR site, dramatically reducing the bandwidth required for the initial full replication.

Question 5

In Veeam's DataLabs, what is a 'virtual network appliance' used for in Sure Backup testing?

Accepted Answer

To masquerade IP addresses so isolated VMs can access production resources without conflicts

Answer

A virtual network appliance in Veeam DataLabs uses network masquerading to allow isolated VMs to access production services (like DNS or license servers) without IP conflicts.
