Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 128

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

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because application-aware processing ensures that applications like SharePoint are in a consistent state during backup, which is critical for database integrity. The other options, while relevant to SharePoint or VMs, do not specifically address the need for quiescence during the backup process.
