VMCE Replication and Recovery 3

Question 1

What is 'Planned Failover' in Veeam and when should it be used?

Accepted Answer

A controlled switchover to the replica performed before a planned maintenance or migration

Answer

Planned Failover is a graceful migration to the replica where Veeam performs a final sync of the source VM, minimizing data loss, ideal for scheduled maintenance windows.

Question 2

After a successful Failback in Veeam, what is the recommended next step?

Accepted Answer

Commit the failback to make the production VM active and re-enable replication

Answer

After failback, you commit it to confirm the production VM is now authoritative, after which Veeam can resume normal replication from the production site.

Question 3

Which recovery option allows you to restore a VM replica to a specific point-in-time state without full failover?

Accepted Answer

Restore from replica restore point

Answer

Veeam lets you restore a VM directly from a specific replica restore point, effectively rolling the replica back to a previous state without initiating a full failover.

Question 4

What network mapping setting in a Veeam replication job ensures the replica VM connects to the correct isolated test network?

Accepted Answer

Network mapping in the replication job's network settings

Answer

Network mapping in the replication job's network settings maps source VM networks to target networks, ensuring the replica connects to the appropriate network at the DR site.

Question 5

When using Veeam's 'Re-IP' feature during failover, what does it accomplish?

Accepted Answer

It automatically changes the IP address of the replica VM to match DR site addressing

Answer

Re-IP rules change the IP configuration of a Windows or Linux VM replica during failover so the VM operates correctly with DR site network addressing.
