Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v12 — Question 84

An engineer is using Veeam Backup and Replication v12.

The only backup repository is a Microsoft Windows server with direct attached Fibre Channel storage array.

The engineer realizes that none of their backups are immutable. A second copy of the backup on a different site and a different media is required.

Which option should be used to provide immutable backups on a secondary site with a different media?

Answer options

• A. Create a Scale Out Backup Repository with the existing Microsoft Windows Server as the performance tier and an HPe StoreOnce Catalyst share with immutability enabled as the capacity tier.
• B. Create a Scale Out Backup Repository with the existing Microsoft Windows Server as the performance tier and AWS S3 bucket with immutability enabled as the capacity tier.
• C. Create a new hardened repository on a new Microsoft Windows Server, mark it as immutable and create a backup copy job on it.
• D. Create a Scale Out Backup Repository with the existing Microsoft Windows Server as the performance tier and Google Cloud Object Storage with immutability enabled as the capacity tier.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because it allows the use of AWS S3, which supports immutability, providing the required secondary backup with enhanced security. Options A and D involve other storage solutions that may not guarantee immutability in the same manner as AWS S3, while option C does not utilize a different media type as specified in the question.
