Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2020 — Question 40

Which of the following statements are true regarding backup copy jobs in Veeam Backup & Replication? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The backup copy job creates a forever forward incremental backup chain
• B. The backup copy job creates a single file with multiple restore points included within for archival purposes
• C. During the backup copy job process, a VM snapshot is created for consistency
• D. Retention settings maintain the desired number of restore points as well as offer optional GFS for archival purposes
• E. Backup copy jobs copy entire VBK, VIB, or VRB files from the source backup repository to the target backup repository

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Option A is correct because backup copy jobs maintain a forever forward incremental chain, which allows for efficient backups. Option D is also correct as it describes how retention settings manage restore points and can include Grandfather-Father-Son (GFS) for archival purposes. The other options are incorrect; B misrepresents how restore points are handled, C inaccurately states the snapshot's role, and E incorrectly suggests that entire files are copied instead of just the necessary increments.
