Question 1

When backing up VMware vSphere VMs with Veeam, which transport mode reads data directly from the ESXi host's storage without going through the network?

Accepted Answer

Direct SAN access

Answer

Direct SAN access transport mode allows the Veeam proxy to read VM data directly from the shared SAN storage, bypassing the ESXi host network.

Question 2

In a Hyper-V environment, what is the role of the Veeam Off-Host Backup Proxy?

Accepted Answer

It offloads backup processing from the Hyper-V host to a separate server

Answer

The off-host backup proxy offloads backup processing to a dedicated server, reducing the CPU and I/O load on the production Hyper-V host.

Question 3

What vSphere feature does Veeam leverage to create crash-consistent VM snapshots without quiescing the guest OS?

Accepted Answer

vStorage APIs for Data Protection (VADP)

Answer

Veeam uses VMware's VADP framework to interact with the ESXi snapshot subsystem and read VM disk data during backup.

Question 4

When configuring Veeam to back up Nutanix AHV VMs, which component must be deployed on the Nutanix cluster?

Accepted Answer

Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV proxy appliance

Answer

Veeam deploys a purpose-built proxy virtual appliance on the Nutanix AHV cluster to handle snapshot creation and data mover functions.

Question 5

Which Veeam capability allows administrators to restore individual guest OS files from a VM backup without performing a full VM restore?

Accepted Answer

Guest file system browsing (FLR)

Answer

File-level restore (FLR) mounts the backup and allows browsing the guest file system to restore individual files or folders.
