Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 52

A file on a Linux VM hosted on Hyper-V is corrupted and must be restored. Which of the following restore methods provides the best possible RTO?

Answer options

• A. Start a virtual lab and boot the Linux VM image in an application group, then copy the file directly from the image to the Linux VM.
• B. File-level restore for Linux is not supported on Hyper-V.
• C. Run Veeam file restore wizard and let it restore through the network.
• D. Run Veeam Extract Utility and use “copy to” to download the file locally in a shared folder.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is the best choice because using the Veeam file restore wizard allows for a direct network restore, minimizing downtime and providing the quickest recovery. Option A, while potentially effective, involves additional steps that could lengthen the RTO. Option B is incorrect as it states that file-level restore for Linux is unsupported, and Option D, although valid, may not be as efficient as restoring directly through the network.
