Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 116

35 VMs are running on a Hyper-V platform at a remote office (ROBO). The administrator has been tasked with setting up replication to the main office (HQ) so it can act as the disaster recovery site. The available bandwidth is 40 Mbps. RPO is set to eight hours and the data generated for the interval is 300 GB. Which of the following will achieve the RPO?

Answer options

• A. Configure the replication jobs set to Direct Mode. Schedule every eight hours.
• B. Use replication jobs with copy mode set to “periodic copy” and set interval to every eight hours.
• C. Configure the replication jobs to use WAN acceleration. Set the schedule to run every eight hours.
• D. Use replication jobs with copy mode set to “interval copy”. Schedule to run after the backup job.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as using WAN acceleration optimizes the data transfer over the available 40 Mbps bandwidth, allowing the 300 GB of data to be replicated within the eight-hour RPO. Options A and B do not account for bandwidth efficiency, and option D may not meet the RPO requirement since it depends on the completion of the backup job.
