Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 72

A physical Windows server has failed Windows updates and is now showing an error message. The server has several volumes: C (60GB), D (2TB) and E (600GB). You urgently need this server up and running again. Which of the following would bring the server back up and running the fastest on the same hardware?

Answer options

• A. Insert the Veeam Recovery Media and restore using "System volumes only".
• B. Insert the Veeam Recovery Media and restore the entire computer.
• C. Perform Instant Disk recovery of the C drive.
• D. Use Restore Guest OS Files to restore the bootable image of the system drive.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because restoring only the system volumes allows for a faster recovery process without the need to restore unnecessary data from other volumes. Options B and C would take longer as they involve restoring more data or performing a full system restoration. Option D, while it may restore the bootable image, does not specifically target the fastest method to get the server operational.
