Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 26

In the war against ransomware, a company decided to implement tape backup for the first time. The tape library has already been added. Of the following, what must be done first?

Answer options

• A. Create vaults.
• B. Create media pools.
• C. Create libraries.
• D. Create media sets.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Creating media pools is essential as it organizes the storage resources and defines how tapes are allocated for backup operations. Without media pools, the backup system cannot efficiently manage the media used for storing backup data. The other options are not the first step, as vaults, libraries, and media sets depend on having media pools in place.
