Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 105

A Veeam administrator is concerned about keeping backups on site and has traditionally used tapes to create weekly offsite backups. Concerns about ransomware have created the need to have backups sent off site immediately. The company is currently using Scale-out Backup Repositories. What option would satisfy the requirement?

Answer options

• A. Copy to capacity tier
• B. Move to capacity tier
• C. Backup to object storage
• D. File copy job

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, 'Copy to capacity tier', as it allows immediate transfer of backups to an offsite location, addressing the ransomware concern. Option B, 'Move to capacity tier', would not immediately copy backups offsite. Options C and D do not directly relate to the immediate offsite backup requirement in this context.
