VMCE Data Recovery Scenarios 4

Question 1

An administrator needs to recover Active Directory objects such as deleted user accounts without restoring the entire domain controller VM. Which tool is used?

Accepted Answer

Veeam Explorer for Active Directory

Answer

Veeam Explorer for Active Directory enables granular recovery of AD objects including users, groups, and OUs directly from VM backups without a full DC restore.

Question 2

A Veeam administrator wants to restore a VM backup to Microsoft Azure. Which Veeam feature or product enables cloud-based restore?

Accepted Answer

Direct Restore to Microsoft Azure

Answer

Direct Restore to Microsoft Azure converts and restores on-premises VM backups directly into Azure as native Azure VMs.

Question 3

During a restore, a Veeam administrator selects 'Keep' for the existing VM on disk. What happens to the original VM?

Accepted Answer

It is kept as-is and the restored VM is created alongside it

Answer

Selecting 'Keep' retains the existing VM and creates the restored VM alongside it, allowing comparison before decommissioning the old VM.

Question 4

A Veeam administrator needs to restore a VM that was backed up with application-aware processing enabled. The VM contains a running SQL Server. Which restore point state ensures transaction consistency?

Accepted Answer

Application-consistent restore points created when VSS was successful

Answer

Application-consistent restore points created with successful VSS processing ensure SQL Server databases are in a transactionally consistent state and do not require crash recovery.

Question 5

A Veeam backup administrator needs to recover a Hyper-V VM to an alternate Hyper-V host. Which consideration is unique to Hyper-V vs. VMware for this operation?

Accepted Answer

Hyper-V uses Quick Migration instead of Storage vMotion for post-instant-recovery finalization

Answer

For Hyper-V Instant VM Recovery, Veeam uses Quick Migration (its own migration engine) to finalize the VM onto production storage, whereas VMware uses Storage vMotion.
