Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v12 — Question 112

An organization has been backing up their workloads to a Windows 2016 server (REFS). After a competitor was hit by ransomware, the engineer decided to make all backups immutable to secure them. The engineer has built a new hardened repository with XFS as a standalone backup repository.

Which action should the engineer take to migrate the backup files to the new repository?

Answer options

• A. Use Quick Migrate to move the backups to the new hardened repository.
• B. Right-click on each backup job and use the "Move" backup option to migrate them to the new hardened repository.
• C. Edit the backup job and change the target to the new backup repository.
• D. Right-click on the Windows repository and select "Evacuate to”, then select the new hardened repository.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as it allows the engineer to individually migrate each backup job to the new repository, ensuring that all settings and configurations are appropriately transferred. Option A is incorrect because Quick Migrate does not apply to this scenario. Option C is not suitable since it doesn't involve moving the existing backups but merely changing the target. Option D is also incorrect as 'Evacuate to' is not the right method for migrating backup jobs.
