Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v12 — Question 37

A Windows Server using the ReFS filesystem has been used as a standalone Veeam repository for several years and is due for replacement. A new Windows server using the ReFS filesystem has been created to replace the old server, with twice the capacity. Backup files need to be transferred to the new server with no disruptions to the existing backup chains.

The Veeam engineer has begun to move backup files to the new repository but is now getting alerts that it is running out of space.

How could the engineer have avoided this issue?

Answer options

• A. Use a Backup Copy Job
• B. Use the "Copy backup..." function
• C. Use the "Move backup..." function
• D. Use Robocopy with the /compress switch

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as using the 'Move backup...' function is designed to transfer backup files without creating duplicates, thereby preventing space issues. Options A and B would create additional copies of the backups, leading to further space consumption. Option D, while it compresses files, still would not adequately address the existing space limitations when transferring large backup files.
