Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v12 — Question 46

A physical Windows file server protected by Veeam Agent for Windows needs to be migrated to a local VMware ESXi. The server has several volumes: C: (60GB), D: (1TB) and E: (4TB). What is the quickest option to migrate the server to a local VMware ESXi host?

Answer options

• A. Create an empty VM and perform bare metal recovery inside the VM.
• B. Perform Instant Disk Recovery for each volume.
• C. Export all disks, create an empty VM and attach the disks.
• D. Perform Instant VM Recovery.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as Instant VM Recovery allows the physical server to be quickly powered on as a virtual machine directly from the backup, minimizing downtime. Options A and C require additional steps and time to configure a new VM and restore data, while B focuses on individual volume recovery, which is not the fastest overall migration method.
