Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v12 — Question 61

A backup administrator is called in to review a new Veeam deployment created by a coworker. The backup administrator takes the following notes:

• 12 backup jobs
• 1 SOBR configured with AWS S3 Performance Tier
• 1 Repository configured on Hardened Immutable Repository

The administrator also notes that six jobs are configured to use the SOBR and six jobs are configured to use the Hardened Immutable Repository.

What should the backup administrator report to the other coworker regarding the 3-2-1 backup strategy?

Answer options

• A. This will save costs with the Archive Tier in the SOBR.
• B. This needs the Hardened Immutable Repository added to the capacity tier.
• C. This only has 1 copy of the backup data.
• D. This meets the 3-2-1 best practices requirements.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the 3-2-1 backup strategy specifies having three copies of data on two different media types, with one copy off-site. In this case, there is only one copy of backup data, which does not meet the requirement. The other options suggest improvements or interpretations that do not address the fundamental issue of data redundancy.
