Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 12

An administrator has decided to set up a VM backup job covering their Microsoft SOL servers. What feature must be enabled to ensure quiescence of the SQL databases during the backup?

Answer options

• A. Enable Microsoft SQL server plug-in.
• B. Enable application-aware processing.
• C. Enable Microsoft Windows OS processing.
• D. Enable Microsoft SQL server agent on the VMs.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as application-aware processing is specifically designed to ensure that applications like SQL Server are in a consistent state during backups. The other options do not provide the necessary quiescence for the databases; for instance, enabling the SQL server plug-in or agent does not directly handle the quiescence aspect.
