Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2020 — Question 45

What is the main purpose of the planned failover feature?

Answer options

• A. Test the VM in a sandbox without impacting the production environment
• B. Proactively switch from running the regular VM to the replica VM
• C. Initiate a disaster recovery procedure when the main site is down
• D. Test a disaster recovery scenario without any downtime on the VM

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the planned failover is specifically designed to switch operations from the primary VM to the replica VM in a controlled manner. Options A and D are focused on testing without actual failover, while option C describes an unplanned scenario rather than the controlled transition intended by the planned failover feature.
