Question 1

What is the maximum number of restore points Veeam can maintain per VM when using the 'GFS (Grandfather-Father-Son)' retention scheme?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the configured weekly, monthly, and yearly settings

Answer

GFS retention is fully configurable — administrators define how many weekly, monthly, and yearly restore points to retain, determining the total.

Question 2

When Veeam Backup & Replication replicates a VM to a DR site, what is stored at the DR site?

Accepted Answer

A fully registered VM with restore points in VM snapshot format

Answer

VM replication creates a full VM replica at the DR site registered with the destination vCenter/ESXi, ready for immediate failover.

Question 3

Which Veeam feature automatically tests backup recoverability by restoring VMs in an isolated network and verifying they boot successfully?

Accepted Answer

SureBackup

Answer

SureBackup jobs automate the verification of backup recoverability by restoring VMs into a Virtual Lab and running configurable tests.

Question 4

In Veeam's Virtual Lab used by SureBackup, how does network isolation prevent the lab VMs from impacting the production network?

Accepted Answer

A vNetwork Appliance (masquerading router) provides isolated yet routable lab access

Answer

Veeam's Virtual Lab uses a vNetwork Appliance that masquerades production IP addresses, providing isolated connectivity without conflicting with production.

Question 5

What is the primary purpose of Veeam's 'Backup Copy Job' compared to a standard backup job?

Accepted Answer

Copies existing backup files to a secondary location for offsite retention

Answer

A Backup Copy Job reads from an existing backup repository and copies restore points to a secondary (often offsite) repository, fulfilling the 3-2-1 rule.
