Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v12 — Question 90

A business has the following new regulatory requirements to follow:

• Follow the 3-2-1 rule.
• Prevent the most recent 31 days of any backup files from being deleted or modified
• Keep one copy of a monthly restore point around for two years

They have the following setup:

• A standalone repository on a NAS
• A backup job keeping 31 days of restore points
• A backup copy job to an Amazon Simple Storage Service Repository, keeping 31 days of backups and 24 monthly GFS restore points

Which two actions should the engineer take to change the environment to meet the new requirements? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Enable Immutability on the NAS
• B. Add 24 monthly GFS restore points to the backup job
• C. Configure a Scale-Out Backup Repository with NAS and Windows hardened repository
• D. Move the backups from the NAS to a hardened repository
• E. Enable immutability in Amazon S3

Correct answer: D, E

Explanation

The correct actions are to move the backups from the NAS to a hardened repository (D) and enable immutability in Amazon S3 (E). These steps ensure that the backups are protected from deletion or modification, thus meeting the 3-2-1 rule and the requirement to keep recent backups secure. The other options do not fully address the regulatory requirements as effectively as D and E do.
