Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2020 — Question 24

A company needs to maintain and verify backups at a secondary site to meet the following requirements: RTO of two hours, RPO of 12 hours, four weeks retention. Which of the following backup copy job configurations meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Periodic backup copy job, scheduled for a two-hour interval, with 56 restore points to retain
• B. Periodic backup copy job, scheduled for a 12-hour interval, with 56 restore points to retain
• C. Periodic backup copy job, scheduled for a two-hour interval, with 112 restore points to retain
• D. Periodic backup copy job, scheduled for a 12-hour interval, with 112 restore points to retain

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it meets the RTO of two hours with a backup job scheduled at that interval and retains 56 restore points, which is sufficient for four weeks. Options B and D do not meet the RTO requirement, as they are scheduled for longer intervals, while option C has the correct interval but retains too many restore points, exceeding the retention requirement.
