Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v12 — Question 118

A customer wants to set up a Scale-out Backup Repository. Due to malware concerns, immutability is recommended. An on-premises server can be used to hold primary backups, but it can only hold 21 days of backups. A copy of all backups should be stored in Amazon Web Services. The retention for all backups is 60 days.

Which configuration of a Scale-out Backup Repository meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Copy mode - Performance Tier: Windows ReFS, immutability enabled Capacity Tier: Amazon Simple Storage Service, immutability set for 60 days
• B. Copy and move mode - Performance Tier: hardened repository, XFS. immutability enabled Capacity Tier: Amazon Simple Storage Service, immutability set for 60 days
• C. Copy and move mode - Performance Tier: Windows ReFS, immutability enabled Capacity Tier: Amazon Simple Storage Service, immutability set for 60 days
• D. Copy mode - Performance Tier: hardened repository, XFS. immutability enabled Capacity Tier: Amazon S3, immutability set for 60 days

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it uses a hardened repository with XFS and supports immutability, ensuring protection against malware threats. Options A, B, and C do not utilize the hardened repository or use Windows ReFS, which does not meet the specified requirements for immutability and backup retention effectively.
