Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v12 — Question 64

To be able to increase backup retention, the company has bought a Data Domain deduplication appliance.

After setting up the jobs to use it, the backup administrator observes an increase of resource consumption on the backup server. The proxy configuration has not been modified.

What is causing the issue?

Answer options

• A. The backup appliance does not have enough resources to process the data.
• B. The SSL certificate on the backup appliance needs to be updated.
• C. The backup server has to fulfill the gateway role.
• D. The backup server needs additional resources to use a deduplication appliance.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the backup server needs to handle the gateway role when integrating with a deduplication appliance, which can increase resource consumption. Option A is incorrect as the issue is not due to the backup appliance's resources, while B and D do not address the specific role requirement that leads to increased load on the backup server.
