Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v12 — Question 43

A customer wants to set up a Scale-Out Backup Repository. Due to malware concerns, immutability is recommended. An on-premises server can be used to hold primary backups, but it can only hold about 21 days of backups. A copy of the backups should be stored in AWS. The retention for all backups is 60 days.

Which configuration of a Scale-out Backup repository meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Copy mode - Performance Tier: Windows REFS, immutability set for 11 days Capacity Tier: Amazon S3, immutability set for 60 days
• B. Copy and move mode - Performance Tier: Windows REFS, immutability set for 11 days Capacity Tier: Amazon S3, immutability set for 60 days
• C. Copy mode - Performance Tier: Linux Hardened Repository, XFS, immutability set for 11 days Capacity Tier: Amazon S3, immutability set for 60 days
• D. Copy and move mode - Performance Tier: Linux Hardened Repository, XFS, immutability set for 11 days Capacity Tier: Amazon S3, immutability set for 60 days

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it utilizes the Copy and move mode, which is suitable for a longer retention period and effectively manages data in AWS with the required immutability settings. Options A, B, and C use Windows REFS or Copy mode which do not align with the requirements for an optimal backup strategy and retention period in this scenario.
