Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 6

A director in a business needs a folder of traffic photos restored from a Linux server. This machine sits on a VM backed up by Veeam Backup & Replication. The director wants the files restored to their original location and does not want to lose 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 "Versioning" function. Files will be prefixed with numbers (1-, 2-, 3-, etc.).
• B. Restore the files using the "Overwrite" function. Original files will be renamed.
• C. Restore the files using the "Hold" function. The director can then determine the status of the original and restored files.
• D. Restore the files using the "Keep" function. Original files will be untouched.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The 'Keep' function allows the restored files to be placed in the original location without affecting the current files, ensuring that the original files remain intact. The other options either rename the files or overwrite them, which goes against the director's requirement to not lose the original files.
