Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v12 — Question 93

A Veeam engineer is using on-premises object storage as the primary storage for backups. What can the engineer create to make sure the backups conform to the 3-2-1 rule?

Answer options

• A. A snapshot of the primary storage periodically.
• B. A backup copy job to send the backups to public cloud object storage.
• C. A copy of the backups to tape and store them in the same building.
• D. A file copy job to create a copy on a NAS device in the same data center.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as it ensures that there are copies of the data both on-premises and in the cloud, satisfying the 3-2-1 rule of having three total copies, on two different media, with one copy off-site. Option A does not create an additional copy, option C keeps the backup in the same location which does not provide off-site protection, and option D also fails to meet the off-site requirement.
