VMCE Replication and Recovery 2

Question 1

What is the purpose of the 'replica seeding' feature in Veeam replication?

Accepted Answer

To pre-populate replica VM data from a backup file to reduce WAN traffic

Answer

Replica seeding lets you ship a backup to the DR site and use it as the initial replica, drastically reducing initial replication bandwidth over WAN.

Question 2

When performing a Failover to a VM replica, what is the state of the original production VM?

Accepted Answer

It remains running unless you manually power it off

Answer

Veeam does not automatically power off the production VM during failover; the administrator must manually manage the production VM to avoid split-brain.

Question 3

Which replication mode synchronizes only changed blocks since the last replication cycle?

Accepted Answer

Incremental replication

Answer

Incremental replication transfers only the changed blocks tracked via CBT since the last run, minimizing bandwidth and time.

Question 4

What happens to replication restore points when the 'retain days' limit is exceeded?

Accepted Answer

The oldest restore points are removed by Veeam automatically

Answer

Veeam automatically removes the oldest replica restore points once the configured retention limit is reached, keeping the replica chain within the defined window.

Question 5

In a Veeam replication job, what does the 'replica mapping' option allow you to do?

Accepted Answer

Re-use an existing VM at the target as the replica instead of creating a new one

Answer

Replica mapping lets you point a replication job to an already-existing VM at the target site, using it as the starting point instead of creating a fresh replica.
