Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v12 — Question 106

The administrator of a VMware environment backed up by Veeam Backup & Replication has a critical server with corruption on one of its three data drives. What is the fastest way to bring this drive back online with the least disruption to business?

Answer options

• A. Instant Disk Recovery
• B. Staged restore
• C. Instant VM Recovery
• D. Entire VM restore

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Instant Disk Recovery allows the administrator to quickly restore a single disk directly from the backup without needing to power down the VM, minimizing downtime. In contrast, Staged restore and Entire VM restore involve more steps and time, while Instant VM Recovery primarily focuses on recovering the entire VM rather than just the specific disk, making them less efficient for this scenario.
