Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 121
All VMs in a data center need to be failed over to a disaster recovery site due to an approaching hurricane. Which failover method would ensure that changes made to the original VMs, after the scheduled replication jobs, are copied to the disaster recovery site?
Answer options
- A. Failover plan
- B. Planned failover
- C. Replica failover
- D. Failover
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Planned failover because it allows for the synchronization of any changes made to the VMs after the last replication, ensuring they are captured before the transition. In contrast, Failover plan and Failover do not specifically address the need for data consistency post-replication, while Replica failover typically involves reverting to the last replicated state without incorporating recent changes.
