Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v9 — Question 4

Which of the following statements are true when considering the Forever Forward Incremental backup method, on a NTFS-based backup repository? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. In between job run, the storage always contains the number of restore points indicated in the backup job settings
• B. Even when retention is breached, only sequential writes to the backup repository are performed
• C. The most recent restore point in the backup chain is always a full backup
• D. The merge process can cause a heavy I/Q load on the repository

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Option B is correct because, under the Forever Forward Incremental method, only sequential writes are performed even when retention policies are breached. Option C is also accurate as the latest restore point is indeed a full backup. Options A and D are incorrect since they misrepresent the behavior of the backup storage and the impact of the merge process, respectively.
