Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 139

An administrator needs to dynamically add VMware VMs that have a custom application installed to a backup job, and also require an RPO of eight hours. How can this job be created?

Answer options

• A. Create a backup job based on vSphere tags.
• B. In Enterprise Manager, create a dynamic group of VMs that contain both tags.
• C. Use the REST API to scan the VM inventory for machines that match the criteria.
• D. Modify a custom CSV file to be scanned before the start of each job.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because creating a backup job based on vSphere tags allows for dynamic inclusion of VMs with specific characteristics. Option B is incorrect as it involves a static group which doesn't dynamically add VMs. Option C is not suitable since using the REST API does not directly create a backup job. Option D is not practical as modifying a CSV file does not facilitate dynamic job creation.
