Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v9 — Question 29

Which backup method is described below? "After a full VM backup is created, subsequent backups are incremental. Only data blocks that have changed since the last job run are backed up. All the changes are injected into the created .vbk file to rebuild it to the most recent state of a VM."

Answer options

• A. Forever forward incremental backup
• B. Reverse incremental backup
• C. Forward incremental backup with synthetic fulls with transform to rollbacks
• D. Forward incremental backup

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a Reverse incremental backup allows for the latest state of the VM to be maintained by applying changes to the full backup. Options A and D are incorrect because they do not refer to the process described, which involves an incremental approach that builds upon a full backup. Option C is not applicable here, as it involves synthetic full backups rather than the described incremental method.
