Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2020 — Question 35

You use datastores as the source for your backup jobs. Some VM backups are consuming too much repository disk space. They have backup files created by multiple backup jobs. What could be the reason? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. VMware Storage DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler) moved VMs to different datastores
• B. Jobs are configured as per VM and these particular VM's need more fulls
• C. VM retention is set to do full backups more often than others in the job
• D. The VM is in a backup chain and trapped inside a single retention file
• E. The VMs were moved to different datastores manually

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The correct answers, B and E, indicate that the backup jobs are configured specifically for each VM needing more full backups and that VMs were moved manually, impacting the backup storage requirements. Options A, C, and D do not directly relate to the excessive disk space consumption in this scenario, as they pertain to scheduling and retention policies rather than the configuration and management of the backups themselves.
