Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v12 — Question 83

An engineer is configuring Veeam Backup and Replication for an organization to protect a VMware environment using vSAN. The backup proxy must be isolated from the VMkernel.

Which transport mode should the engineer use?

Answer options

• A. Direct NFS access
• B. Direct SAN access
• C. Network mode
• D. Virtual appliance

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct choice is D, Virtual appliance, because it allows for data processing without direct access to the VMkernel, maintaining the necessary isolation. The other options, such as Direct NFS access and Direct SAN access, involve direct interactions with storage that do not provide the required separation. Network mode could also compromise the isolation of the backup proxy from the VMkernel.
