VMCE Repository and Storage Management 2

Question 1

What is the purpose of the Veeam Data Mover service running on a repository server?

Accepted Answer

It transfers data between source and target components during backup and restore jobs

Answer

The Veeam Data Mover is a runtime process that handles data transfer between infrastructure components such as source hosts and backup repositories.

Question 2

Which repository type in Veeam leverages native deduplication and compression provided by the underlying storage system?

Accepted Answer

Deduplicating storage appliance repository

Answer

Deduplicating storage appliance repositories (such as Dell EMC Data Domain or HPE StoreOnce) offload deduplication and compression to the appliance's native capabilities.

Question 3

When configuring a Scale-out Backup Repository, what is the role of the performance tier?

Accepted Answer

It acts as the primary landing zone for new backups and restores

Answer

The performance tier in a SOBR serves as the primary storage layer where new backups are initially written and from which fast restores are performed.

Question 4

What happens to existing backup chains stored on a repository when you change the backup file format from per-machine with separate metadata files to per-machine without separate metadata files?

Accepted Answer

Existing backup chains remain in the old format; the new format applies only to new backup chains created after the change

Answer

Format changes are not retroactive; existing backup chains retain their original format and only newly created chains use the updated format.

Question 5

Which Veeam repository role allows a CIFS (SMB) share to be used while still enabling Veeam-managed data movers for improved throughput?

Accepted Answer

Gateway server added as a Windows-based repository pointing to the SMB path

Answer

A Windows server acting as a gateway mounts the CIFS share and runs the Veeam Data Mover locally, giving Veeam more control over data transfer compared to a pure network share.
