Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v12 — Question 26

An engineer needs to back up the data on a NAS file share, located on the company’s main production site.
Which option would increase the performance of the job?

Answer options

• A. Deploy the backup proxy and the cache repository on the same network as the NAS.
• B. Assign a high priority to this job.
• C. Assign Veeam WAN accelerators to the job.
• D. Deploy the backup proxy and the cache repository on a dedicated backup network.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because having the backup proxy and cache repository on the same network as the NAS reduces latency and improves data transfer speeds. While assigning high priority (Option B) can help in resource allocation, it does not directly enhance the network performance. Using Veeam WAN accelerators (Option C) is useful for remote backups, and a dedicated backup network (Option D) may isolate traffic but could also introduce unnecessary complexity and overhead.
