Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v12 — Question 129

A company has backup issues because the Veeam Backup & Replication Configuration Database crashes, causing corruption to the configuration database. Sometimes the administrator has to recreate the backup jobs after a crash. The administrator needs to redesign the Veeam Backup & Replication solution to minimize issues with the configuration database.

How should the administrator configure the Veeam Backup & Replication Configuration Database?

Answer options

• A. Use a Microsoft SQL Always On Availability Group and back up using the configuration backup tool
• B. Use Microsoft SQL Server installed directly on the Veeam Backup & Replication server and make hourly backups using application-aware processing.
• C. Use a PostgreSQL cluster and back up using the configuration backup tool.
• D. Use PostgreSQL installed on a separate server and make hourly backups using application-aware processing.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct option is A because using a Microsoft SQL Always On Availability Group provides high availability and redundancy for the configuration database, minimizing the chances of crashes. Options B and D do not provide the same level of high availability, while option C uses PostgreSQL, which is not optimal for Veeam Backup & Replication in this scenario.
