Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 2

Veeam Backup & Replication is currently configured to back up different workloads: Windows VMs on vSphere and Linux VMs on vSphere. A secondary copy of all the backups including transaction logs must be created. Which of the following backup copy job configurations is the simplest?

Answer options

• A. A single "periodic copy" backup copy job
• B. A single "immediate copy" backup copy job
• C. Two "immediate copy" backup copy jobs
• D. Two "periodic copy" backup copy jobs

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The simplest configuration for creating a secondary copy of all backups is a single 'immediate copy' backup copy job, as it allows for immediate processing without the need for scheduling. The other options either complicate the setup by requiring multiple jobs or use periodic scheduling, which is less direct and efficient for this requirement.
