Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v12 — Question 18

A business has the following new regulatory requirements to follow:
3-2-1
Prevent the most recent 31 days of any backup files from being deleted or modified
Keep 1 copy of a monthly restore point around for 2 years
They have the following setup:
A standalone repository on a NAS
A backup job keeping 31 days of restore points
A backup copy job to an Amazon S3 Repository, keeping 31 days of backups and 24 monthly GFS restore points
Which two actions should the engineer take to change the environment to meet the new requirements? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Enable Immutability on the NAS
• B. Add 24 monthly GFS restore points to the backup job
• C. Configure a Scale-Out Backup Repository with NAS and Amazon S3
• D. Move the backups from the NAS to a Linux Hardened Repository
• E. Enable immutability in Amazon S3

Correct answer: D, E

Explanation

The correct actions are D and E because moving backups to a Linux Hardened Repository enhances security and prevents deletion or modification of recent backups, thus meeting the regulatory requirement. Enabling immutability in Amazon S3 further ensures that the stored backups cannot be altered or deleted, fulfilling the compliance needs. The other options do not adequately address the requirement to secure the backups against modification or deletion.
