Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 36

An infrastructure with 50 VMs has a power outage. After the VMware cluster has booted up again, 10 medium-sized VMs have corrupted VM disk files. Which action can be used to restore the VMs back to the production state?

Answer options

• A. Use the "Restore guest files" option and restore all VM Files.
• B. Perform Restore VM Files and only restore the VM configuration files.
• C. Perform Restore VM Files and restore the VM configuration and disk files.
• D. Perform Instant VM Recovery with quick rollback.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct action is to perform Restore VM Files and restore both the VM configuration and disk files, as this ensures that the VMs can fully function with their original settings and data. Option A is incorrect because restoring guest files alone won't fix the disk corruption. Option B only restores configuration files, which is insufficient for operation. Option D suggests a quick rollback, but it does not address the corrupted disk files, making it unsuitable for restoring the VMs properly.
