Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v12 — Question 142

A corporation decides to merge with another company. As part of this merger, the system administrator needs to consolidate the backups from two separate jobs into one. The system administrator's task is to ensure a smooth migration with minimal downtime and data loss. Which strategy should the administrator implement to achieve this goal?

Answer options

• A. Use the "Backup Copy" feature in Veeam V12.1, specifying the new job as the target, and then reconfigure the original jobs to use the new job.
• B. Manually copy all backup files from the two jobs into a new job using a file transfer protocol (FTP) program.
• C. Use the "Move backup" feature in Veeam V12.1 to move the backups from the two jobs into a new job.
• D. Use a third-party data migration tool to consolidate the backup data from the two jobs into one.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct strategy is to use the 'Move backup' feature in Veeam V12.1, as it is specifically designed for such tasks, ensuring that the backups are consolidated efficiently with minimal risk of data loss. The other options either involve manual processes that can introduce errors or use features that are not optimized for this specific migration, potentially leading to longer downtimes or complications.
