Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2020 — Question 6

A Veeam backup administrator, protecting all VMs in a VMware environment with backups and replicas, has been requested to run a multi-server application in an
On-Demand Sandbox. The sandbox needs to stay powered on, uninterrupted, for 30 days while daily backups and replicas continue to run. How can this be done?

Answer options

• A. Create an application group and leverage regular replica restore points as the source for the application group
• B. Create a (secondary) replication job for the required VMs that are not scheduled to run; create a SureBackup job and use these replicas as the source
• C. Create a (secondary) replication job for the required VMs that are not scheduled to run; make an application group and use these replicas as the source
• D. Create an application group and leverage regular backup restore points as the source for the application group

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because using regular backup restore points allows the On-Demand Sandbox to stay powered on and receive daily backups without interruption. Options A, B, and C incorrectly suggest using replica restore points or secondary replication jobs, which do not provide the necessary continuity for the application group during the 30-day period.
