VMware vSphere 6.5 Foundations (VCP6.5-DCV) — Question 21

What is a benefit of using VMware Data Protection (VDP)?

Answer options

• A. Provides support for guest-level backups and restores of Microsoft SQL Servers, Exchange Servers, and Share Point Servers.
• B. Provides support for advanced storage services including replication, encryption, deduplication, and compression.
• C. Provides direct access to VDP configuration integrated into the vSphere Client.
• D. Reduces disk space consumed by virtual machine data using deduplication.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because VMware Data Protection (VDP) specifically utilizes deduplication to minimize the disk space required for virtual machine data. Options A, B, and C describe features or capabilities that are not the primary benefit of VDP, which focuses on space efficiency through deduplication.
