VMCE Repository and Storage Management 3

Question 1

Which Veeam feature automatically moves older restore points from the performance tier to a lower-cost capacity tier in a Scale-out Backup Repository?

Accepted Answer

Capacity Tier offload policy

Answer

The capacity tier offload policy in a SOBR automatically moves backup files that exceed a defined age threshold from performance-tier extents to object storage.

Question 2

When using a Veeam hardened Linux repository, which authentication method is required to ensure immutability cannot be bypassed even by privileged Veeam accounts?

Accepted Answer

Single-use credentials added during repository setup that are immediately discarded

Answer

Veeam uses single-use credentials during the initial hardened repository setup; after configuration, those credentials are discarded so no persistent privileged access remains.

Question 3

What is the effect of enabling per-VM backup chains on a repository that stores backups from a VMware vSphere job protecting multiple VMs?

Accepted Answer

Each VM's backup data is stored in a separate set of backup files, allowing independent retention and restore

Answer

Per-VM backup chains store each virtual machine's data independently, enabling granular retention control and allowing individual VMs to be removed from a job without affecting others.

Question 4

Which object storage provider integration in Veeam supports the S3 Object Lock feature for WORM (write-once-read-many) immutability?

Accepted Answer

Amazon S3 and S3-compatible storage that implements the S3 Object Lock API

Answer

Veeam supports S3 Object Lock for immutability on Amazon S3 and any S3-compatible object storage that correctly implements the S3 Object Lock API.

Question 5

In a Veeam Scale-out Backup Repository, what policy controls how new backup files are distributed across multiple extents?

Accepted Answer

Round-robin and least-used extent policies

Answer

SOBR uses a data locality policy (keeping all files for a VM on the same extent) or a performance policy (writing to the extent with the most free space or least load).
