A business has several remote sites that are backed up to the central Veeam infrastructure. After a few months, the amount of data has grown and backup copy jobs do not fit into the backup window. The current bandwidth is 20 Mbps. Management wants to avoid any additional investments.
Which option would improve backup duration?
- A . Add more RAM to central VBR Server
- B . Increase bandwidth to remote sites
- C . Upgrade all remote instances to V12
- D . Deploy WAN accelerators for remote sites
D
Explanation:
WAN accelerators are a feature in Veeam Backup & Replication that optimize data transfer over WAN connections. By deploying WAN accelerators at both the central VBR (Veeam Backup & Replication) server location and the remote sites, data transfer can be optimized to fit into the existing backup window without the need for additional bandwidth investment. WAN accelerators work by caching repetitive patterns of data, which significantly reduces the amount of data that needs to be transferred over the network after the initial job run. This makes it a cost-effective solution for improving backup duration when bandwidth is limited.
What is the primary benefit of configuring replica mapping?
- A . Compressed WAN traffic
- B . Deduplicated WAN traffic
- C . Reduced WAN traffic
- D . Encrypted WAN traffic
C
Explanation:
The primary benefit of configuring replica mapping in Veeam Backup & Replication is C: Reduced WAN traffic. Replica mapping is a feature that allows an administrator to map an existing VM in the disaster recovery site to a replica job. This is particularly useful when the initial replication of a large VM has been performed by other means (such as shipping a hard drive with the VM data to the DR site) or if a replica VM already exists and needs to be re-synced with the source VM. By using replica mapping, Veeam can avoid transferring the entire VM over the WAN again and instead only synchronize the differences between the source VM and the existing replica. This significantly reduces the amount of data that needs to be transferred over the WAN, conserving bandwidth and speeding up the replication process. It’s an efficient way to manage replicas, especially for large VMs or in environments with limited bandwidth.
A business has the following new regulatory requirements to follow:
3-2-1
Prevent the most recent 31 days of any backup files from being deleted or modified
Keep 1 copy of a monthly restore point around for 2 years
They have the following setup:
A standalone repository on a NAS
A backup job keeping 31 days of restore points
A backup copy job to an Amazon S3 Repository, keeping 31 days of backups and 24 monthly GFS restore points
Which two actions should the engineer take to change the environment to meet the new requirements? (Choose two.)
- A . Enable Immutability on the NAS
- B . Add 24 monthly GFS restore points to the backup job
- C . Configure a Scale-Out Backup Repository with NAS and Amazon S3
- D . Move the backups from the NAS to a Linux Hardened Repository
- E . Enable immutability in Amazon S3
A, E
Explanation:
To meet the new regulatory requirements, enabling immutability on both the NAS and Amazon S3 is essential. Immutability prevents backup files from being deleted or modified, aligning with the requirement to protect the most recent 31 days of backup files. By enabling this feature on the NAS and Amazon S3, the business ensures that both local and offsite copies of their data are secure and compliant with the regulation. The other options do not directly address the new requirements of preventing deletion or modification of backup files.

Veeam Backup & Replication is currently configured to keep backups for 14 days on a NAS repository. An engineer needs to enable GFS with 12 monthly and 5 yearly full backups to extend the retention for archival purposes but does not have enough space on the repository to store them.
After adding the repository to Scale-Out-Backup Repository (SOBR) as Performance Tier, which option should the engineer choose to solve this issue?
- A . Add an Object Storage as Capacity tier and set the policy to copy backups to object storage as soon as they are created
- B . Add another NAS repository as Capacity tier and set the policy to move backups older than 14 days
- C . Add an Object Storage as Archive tier and set the policy to move all GFS backups
- D . Add an Object Storage as Capacity tier and set the policy to move backups older than 14 days
D
Explanation:
To solve the space issue while enabling GFS retention, the engineer should add an Object Storage as a Capacity tier to the Scale-Out Backup Repository (SOBR) and set the policy to move backups that are older than 14 days. This approach allows for efficient use of local NAS storage for short-term retention and leverages object storage for long-term archival purposes.

An engineer needs to test the impact of operating system updates on app functionality in an isolated non-production environment.
What Veeam Backup and Replication feature can be used to facilitate this?
- A . Replication
- B . Direct Storage Snapshots
- C . Virtual Labs
- D . Instant Recovery
C
Explanation:
Virtual Labs is the ideal feature for testing the impact of operating system updates in an isolated environment. Virtual Labs allow you to create a secure, isolated copy of your production environment where you can test updates, patches, and other changes without affecting the live environment.

Which two environments can Veeam Agents back up? (Choose two.)
- A . FreeBSD
- B . Ubuntu
- C . IBM iSeries
- D . iOS
- E . Windows Server
B, E
Explanation:
Veeam Agents are designed to provide backup solutions for physical and cloud environments. They support various operating systems, including Ubuntu (a Linux-based OS) and Windows Server. These agents ensure that data on servers running these operating systems can be effectively backed up and restored. However, Veeam Agents do not support FreeBSD, IBM iSeries, or iOS as these platforms require different backup solutions or are not typically used in environments where Veeam operates.

A corporation needs to give their MS SQL DBAs a way to restore their MS SQL databases.
Which action would allow the corporation to grant this access without giving access to other operations?
- A . Deny access to restore VMs in Enterprise Manager
- B . Give the DBA group Restore Operator access to the backup server
- C . Give the DBA group Restore Operator access to MS SQL DBs in Enterprise Manager
- D . Delegate application item recoveries to the DBA Group
C
Explanation:
To grant MS SQL DBAs the ability to restore their databases without giving access to other operations, the appropriate action is to give the DBA group Restore Operator access specifically to MS SQL databases within Veeam Enterprise Manager. This role-based access control allows DBAs to perform the needed restores while restricting access to other functionality.

What is the recovery verification function to meet this requirement?
- A . On-Demand Sandbox
- B . SureBackup
- C . Quick Migration
- D . SureReplica
B
Explanation:
SureBackup is the Veeam technology that allows you to verify the recoverability of backups. It can automatically verify the integrity of the backup, test it for malware (with the aid of third-party antivirus software), and send email notifications upon the completion of the job. This is accomplished by running the backups in an isolated environment called a Virtual Lab, without making any changes to the actual production environment. By using SureBackup, Veeam engineers can ensure that image-level backups are recoverable, can be verified against malware, and can report the results via email, thus meeting the compliance team’s requests.
What should be implemented when backing up NAS file shares to ensure there is more than one copy of the data?
- A . Archive repository
- B . Secondary copy
- C . Backup repository
- D . Cache repository
B
Explanation:
When backing up NAS file shares, it’s essential to ensure that more than one copy of the data exists to adhere to best practices for data protection, often referred to as the 3-2-1 Rule (3 total copies of your data, 2 of which are local but on different devices, and at least 1 copy offsite). Implementing a secondary copy of the data provides this additional layer of redundancy. In Veeam, this can be achieved by creating backup copy jobs, which ensure that there is a secondary copy of the data, possibly stored in a different location. This is not to be confused with the simple use of backup repositories, which are storage locations for primary backups, or with cache/archive repositories which serve different purposes in the backup process.
Why is it recommended to install Veeam ONE before Veeam Backup & Replication?
- A . Veeam ONE stores the license file necessary for Veeam Backup & Replication.
- B . Veeam ONE can verify that the server meets the minimum requirements to install Veeam Backup & Replication.
- C . Veeam ONE is a prerequisite for Veeam Backup & Replication installation.
- D . Veeam ONE can potentially identify infrastructure issues prior to performing a backup.
D
Explanation:
It is recommended to install Veeam ONE before Veeam Backup & Replication because Veeam ONE can potentially identify infrastructure issues that might affect backup operations before they are performed. This proactive approach ensures that the environment is optimized for successful backup and replication tasks.
