Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v12 — Question 21

The engineer configured Veeam Backup & Replications 3 years ago with an all-in-one physical server with one job backing up all VMs. The environment grew considerably and RPOs are no longer met.
The engineer checks the backup job and sees:
Load: Source 0% > Proxy 68% > Network 0% > Target 0%.
What should be done to decrease the backup processing time?

Answer options

• A. Edit the Backup Job settings and enable parallel processing from Advanced options
• B. Split the VMs in several jobs with the same schedule to process the VMs in parallel
• C. From Backup Infrastructure add an extra Windows/Linux machine as Backup Proxy
• D. Install another Veeam Backup & Replication server and move half of the VMs to be processed in a separate job

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because adding an extra Backup Proxy can help distribute the workload more effectively, leading to reduced processing time. Option A may improve performance but is limited by the existing infrastructure. Option B could be beneficial but may not address the underlying resource limitation. Option D introduces unnecessary complexity with another server, which isn't needed when simply adding a Proxy can solve the issue.
