VMCE Repository and Storage Management 4

Question 1

Which Veeam component is responsible for converting a backup file stored in a repository into a live VM for Instant Recovery?

Accepted Answer

vPower NFS Server

Answer

The vPower NFS Server publishes a virtual NFS datastore backed by the backup file, enabling a hypervisor to boot a VM directly from the repository without restoring to production storage.

Question 2

When configuring a Veeam repository on a Windows server with an ReFS volume, which capability does Veeam leverage to speed up synthetic full backup creation?

Accepted Answer

ReFS block cloning to copy data blocks without reading and rewriting them

Answer

Veeam uses the ReFS block cloning (copy-on-write) capability to create synthetic full backups by referencing existing data blocks rather than physically copying bytes, dramatically reducing I/O.

Question 3

A VMCE candidate needs to store backups on a repository that cannot accept new data but must still allow restore operations. Which Veeam repository setting achieves this?

Accepted Answer

Set the repository to read-only mode

Answer

Setting a repository to read-only mode prevents any new backup data from being written while still allowing all restore and export operations to proceed.

Question 4

What is the purpose of the 'Limit read and write data rates' option available on Veeam backup repositories?

Accepted Answer

It throttles the throughput of data transfer to and from the repository to reduce storage I/O impact

Answer

This I/O throttling option caps the megabytes per second that Veeam uses when reading from or writing to the repository, protecting other workloads sharing the same storage.

Question 5

Which Veeam backup file format stores all VM data and metadata for an entire backup job in a single VBK file?

Accepted Answer

Per-job backup files (legacy format)

Answer

The per-job (legacy) format combines all VMs within a job into a single VBK full and associated VIB/VRB incremental files, contrasting with per-VM formats that separate each machine.
