Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 119

A file on a Linux VM hosted on vSphere is corrupted and must be restored. VMware tools are installed and up to date on the VM. For some reason, the helper host cannot connect to the VM through the network. Which of the following restore methods provides the best possible RTO?

Answer options

• A. Run Veeam Extract Utility and use "copy to" to download the file locally in a shared folder.
• B. It is impossible to restore the file on the VM if the mount server cannot reach it through the network.
• C. Run Veeam file restore wizard and let it restore through VIX.
• D. Start an Instant VM Recovery session and log on into the restored image to restore through FTP.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because using the Veeam file restore wizard with VIX allows for direct interaction with the VM, even when the network connection is unavailable. Option A is not the best choice as it requires network access to download the file. Option B states a limitation without providing a valid recovery solution. Option D, while viable, may not be as efficient as using VIX for this particular scenario.
