Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v12 — Question 133

A customer has a large VMware vSphere virtual machine with a custom operating system with intense I/O. The customer claims the backup process is causing the virtual machine to stun, despite a very performant production environment and Veeam proxies as powerful physical machines.

What is the correct solution to deploy?

Answer options

• A. Deploy a high performance Veeam repository to decrease the backup time.
• B. Use Continuous Data Protection replication to decrease RPO and process I/O operations as soon as they are performed.
• C. Use Backup from Storage Snapshots to decrease the VMware vSphere snapshot commit time.
• D. Deploy a Veeam Agent to leverage volume-level backup and avoid using proxy servers.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because using Backup from Storage Snapshots allows for quicker snapshot commits, thereby reducing the stuns on the virtual machine during the backup process. Options A and B do not directly address the issue of VM stuns during backups, while option D introduces unnecessary complexity by deploying agents when proxies are already available.
