Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 19

A physical Linux server protected by a centrally managed Veeam agent is physically damaged. A VMware vSphere infrastructure is available, and the physical server is eligible for virtualization. Which recovery step provides the lowest possible RTO?

Answer options

• A. Use Instant VM Recovery to VMware vSphere.
• B. Use Instant Disk Recovery to VMware vSphere.
• C. Use Export Disk Content as Virtual Disk to create a new VM.
• D. Use Bare Metal Restore to VMware vSphere VM.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as Instant VM Recovery allows immediate access to the virtual machine by running it directly from the backup file, thus providing the lowest RTO. Options B and D involve additional steps that increase recovery time, and option C requires creating a new VM, which is not as efficient as using Instant VM Recovery.
