Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2020 — Question 31

A NAS backup job has been configured within Veeam Backup & Replication, and is completing successfully, but restore operations have been failing for the last few days. What is causing the failure?

Answer options

• A. The backup repository is sealed
• B. The server was added by using an IQN alias which is unable to be resolved
• C. The credentials added to the share are not allowed read-write access to the share, directories or files
• D. The cache repository assigned for this file share is unavailable for restore operations

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because if the credentials used do not have the necessary read-write permissions, restore operations will fail. Option A is incorrect as a sealed backup repository does not affect restore capabilities. Option B is not relevant here since IQN alias resolution does not pertain to file share permission issues. Option D is also not the cause since the problem lies in permission rather than cache repository availability.
