Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2020 — Question 47

Which backup method produces a backup chain that consists of the first full backup file (VBK) and a set of incremental backup files (VIB) following it? Additionally, the backup chain contains synthetic full and/or active full backup files that divide the backup chain into shorter series.

Answer options

• A. Forward incremental backup
• B. Differential incremental backup
• C. Reverse incremental backup
• D. Forever forward incremental backup

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as a Forward incremental backup method generates a series of backups starting with a full backup (VBK) and then captures changes with incremental backups (VIB). Options B and C do not describe this exact structure, and D refers to a method that includes certain characteristics that differ from the forward incremental approach.
