Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v12 — Question 141

An engineer receives a request from the compliance department to increase the immutability period for the virtual machine backups they are keeping on a hardened repository. What can the engineer expect after making this change?

Answer options

• A. The new value will apply to active and new chains.
• B. The backup files will become mutable again.
• C. The next job will finish with an error code.
• D. The new value will be applied only for the next chains.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because extending the immutability period affects both the existing active backup chains and any new chains created afterward. Options B and C are incorrect as they imply the backups will lose their immutability or that an error will occur, neither of which is true with this change. Option D is also wrong since the new value applies immediately to active chains as well.
