Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 98

An administrator has been asked to create a dynamic backup job for all VMware VMs in the legal department that have a one-hour RPO. How can this be accomplished?

Answer options

• A. Modify a custom CSV file to be scanned before the start of each job.
• B. Create a job with all the required machines, and manually edit the job as new VMs are deployed.
• C. Create a backup job based on vSphere tags.
• D. In Enterprise Manager, create a script using the REST API to run periodically to scan for new VMs that fit the criteria.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because creating a backup job based on vSphere tags allows for dynamic inclusion of VMs that meet specific criteria without manual intervention. Option A is incorrect as it relies on a static CSV file, which does not dynamically adjust to new VMs. Option B requires manual updates, which does not meet the dynamic requirement. Option D, while it uses automation, is more complex and does not directly utilize the built-in capabilities of vSphere tags for this purpose.
