Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v9 — Question 18

Which of the following conditions require Microsoft VSS rather than VMware quiescence? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. You want to enable point-in-time restore for a Microsoft SQL server
• B. The VM in question is a Linux VM
• C. You want Veeam to truncate backup logs for your Exchange server
• D. You want to use reverse incremental backup mode
• E. The backup data is to be encrypted

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers are C and D because Microsoft VSS is required for specific applications like Exchange to manage log truncation and for reverse incremental backup modes that need application-aware processing. Options A, B, and E are not specific to the VSS requirement, as they do not necessitate Microsoft VSS to function correctly.
