Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) v9 — Question 6

When is Veeam-provided (software level) encryption used for tape media?

Answer options

• A. If the original backup file is not encrypted
• B. If the "Tape protection" option is selected by the user
• C. If the hardware encryption is disabled at the tape device level or not supported
• D. By default for all of the tape jobs

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because Veeam automatically applies software-level encryption for every tape job unless otherwise configured. Options A, B, and C describe specific conditions that may influence encryption but do not reflect the default behavior of Veeam's encryption for tape media.
