Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 57

A physical Windows server protected by a centrally managed Veeam agent is physically damaged. A Hyper-V infrastructure is available, and the physical server is eligible for virtualization. Which recovery step provides the lowest possible RTO?

Answer options

• A. Use Bare Metal Restore to Hyper-V VMs.
• B. Use Export Disk Content as Virtual Disk to create a new VM.
• C. Use Instant Disk Recovery to Hyper-V.
• D. Use Instant VM Recovery to Hyper-V.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, Instant VM Recovery to Hyper-V, allows for the quickest restoration of the virtual machine by running it directly from the backup file. Other options like A and C involve more complex processes that take longer to complete, while B requires creating a new VM, which also extends the recovery time.
