VMCE Replication and Disaster Recovery 5

Question 1

What Veeam feature enables replication directly from a VMware storage snapshot without impacting the source VM's performance?

Accepted Answer

Backup from Storage Snapshots used as a replication source

Answer

Veeam can use existing storage-array snapshots (via Storage Integration) as the source for replication jobs, offloading I/O from the production VM entirely.

Question 2

Which Veeam setting, configured per replication job, defines how often the replica is synchronized with the source VM?

Accepted Answer

Job schedule interval

Answer

The job schedule interval (e.g., every hour, every 15 minutes) determines how frequently Veeam runs the replication job and thus how current the replica is.

Question 3

After committing a failover in Veeam, what must you do to re-establish protection for the VM now running at the DR site?

Accepted Answer

Create a new replication job with the DR-site VM as the source to replicate back to the original site

Answer

After commit, the DR VM becomes the new production VM; you must create a new (or reconfigure the existing) replication job pointing from the DR site back to the primary site to restore protection.

Question 4

What does Veeam's 'Permanent Failover' option do differently from a standard Failover followed by Commit?

Accepted Answer

It removes all replica restore points immediately and makes the replica the permanent production VM in a single step

Answer

Permanent Failover is a single-step operation that immediately makes the replica the production VM and removes all restore points, without a separate commit step.

Question 5

In Veeam replication to a cloud provider via Veeam Cloud Connect, what protects the replication data stream in transit?

Accepted Answer

TLS encryption over the standard Veeam transport protocol (TCP 6160)

Answer

Veeam Cloud Connect uses TLS-encrypted connections over its standard transport ports to secure replication traffic between the tenant and the cloud provider.
