Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 54

A physical Windows file server protected by Veeam Agent for Windows needs to be migrated to a local VMware ESXi. The server has several volumes: C: (60GB), D: (1TB) and E: (4TB). What is the quickest option to migrate the server to a local VMware ESXi host?

Answer options

• A. Perform Instant Disk Recovery for each volume.
• B. Perform Instant VM Recovery.
• C. Create an empty VM and perform bare metal recovery inside the VM.
• D. Export all disks, create an empty VM and attach the disks.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as Instant VM Recovery allows you to quickly restore a physical server as a virtual machine directly on the VMware ESXi host, minimizing downtime. The other options, while viable, involve more time-consuming steps, such as manual recovery processes or creating empty VMs before restoration.
