Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2020 — Question 42

A company needs to recover a domain controller from a backup file they have on premises which was created by the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows. Which of the following would provide the fastest access to the domain controller?

Answer options

• A. Use the Veeam Explorer for Active Directory to recover the domain controller
• B. Perform an Instant VM Recovery to recover the domain controller to a VM on their VMware host
• C. Perform a bare metal recovery of their domain controller back to the original system
• D. Recover the domain controller to an AWS EC2 instance using the restore to Amazon EC2

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Performing an Instant VM Recovery is the quickest way to access the domain controller, as it allows the VM to run directly from the backup file. Other options, like bare metal recovery or restoring to an AWS EC2 instance, involve longer processes and additional steps that delay the recovery time.
