Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 134

Why is it recommended to have at least one backup proxy server in each site when defining a replica job?

Answer options

• A. The proxies allow replication automatic restart after failure.
• B. The proxies allow for no VM snapshots during transit.
• C. The proxies allow automatic WAN acceleration.
• D. The proxies allow data compression during data transit across the WAN.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because backup proxy servers compress data to optimize bandwidth usage during WAN transfers, making the replication process more efficient. Option A is incorrect as it refers to automatic restart capabilities, which are not the primary function of backup proxies. Options B and C are also incorrect since they discuss VM snapshots and WAN acceleration, which are not directly related to the main purpose of backup proxies.
