Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2020 — Question 10

An SMB customer installed Veeam Backup & Replication in a simple deployment. How can the customer comply with the 3-2-1 rule?

Answer options

• A. Create a Scale-out Backup Repository with object storage in the public cloud used as the capacity tier leveraging copy mode
• B. Create a backup to tape job to a local virtual tape library
• C. Create a Scale-out Backup Repository with object storage in the public cloud used as the capacity tier leveraging move mode
• D. Copy the backups to a separate local NAS device

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because using a Scale-out Backup Repository with object storage in the cloud allows for creating multiple copies of backups, fulfilling the 3-2-1 rule. Options B and D do not sufficiently diversify the backup locations or formats needed for the rule, while option C does not align with the requirement of maintaining copies, as move mode would delete the original backup.
