Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 51

The director of a business needs a folder of MS Office files restored from the corporate shared drive. This drive sits on a Windows VM backed up by Veeam Backup & Replication. The director wants the files restored to their original location and to replace the original files. What functionality will be used to restore the folder using the Veeam Guest OS restoration wizard?

Answer options

• A. Restore the files using the “Hold” function. The director can then determine the status of the original and restored files.
• B. Restore the files using the “Keep” function. Original files will be untouched.
• C. Restore the files using the “Replace” function. Original files will be removed.
• D. Restore the files using the “Overwrite” function. Original files will be removed.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as the 'Overwrite' function allows the restoration process to replace the original files with the restored ones. Option A is incorrect because the 'Hold' function does not replace files but rather retains them for review. Option B is also incorrect since the 'Keep' function preserves the original files without making any changes. Option C is not the best choice, as the 'Replace' function does not specifically indicate that the files will be overwritten.
