Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 21

A Veeam administrator is concerned about keeping backups on site and has traditionally used tapes to store backups older than 30 days in order to free up space on their backup repository for longer-term storage. The company is currently using Scale-out Backup Repositories. What option would satisfy the requirement?

Answer options

• A. Copy to capacity tier
• B. Move to capacity tier
• C. Backup to object storage
• D. File copy job

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, 'Move to capacity tier', as this option allows for the relocation of older backups to a less expensive storage solution, effectively managing space in the primary repository. Option A, 'Copy to capacity tier', does not remove the backups from the primary repository, while C and D do not specifically address the requirement of offloading older backups to free up space.
