Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v12 — Question 119

A customer has purchased an Amazon Simple Storage Service compatible object storage system that will replace the existing block storage repository. The vendor best practices recommends reducing the number of generated objects as much as possible to maintain the best level of performance.

What next step should the system engineer take?

Answer options

• A. Increase the block size to 4MB in the Advanced Backup Job settings
• B. Set the incremental with synthetic full backup policy in the Advanced Backup Job settings.
• C. Enable the "Align backup file data blocks" option in the Storage Compatibility settings.
• D. Increase the deduplication level to high in the Advanced Backup Job settings.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Increasing the block size to 4MB will help in reducing the number of generated objects, which aligns with the vendor's best practices for performance. The other options do not directly address the reduction of object count and may not yield the same performance benefits as adjusting the block size.
