Discuss VEEAM VMCA2022 Exam Topic 2 Question 5

What is the retention requirement for this project?

A12 weekly backups, six monthly backups and seven yearly backups.

BHave on-premises backups on hardened backup repositories.

CHave at least one copy of protected data on-premises.

DOn-premises retention consists of 14 daily backups.

Suggested Answer: A

The retention requirement for this project is 12 weekly backups, six monthly backups and seven yearly backups.This is stated in the business requirements section of the scenario, where it says ''To meet regulatory requirements, backups must be retained for four years.'' This implies that the backup data must be archived for long-term retention, and the Veeam solution supports the 3-2-1 rule, which means having three copies of data, on two different types of media, with one copy off-site1. The other options are not retention requirements, but rather technical requirements or design choices, such as having on-premises backups on hardened repositories, having at least one copy of data on-premises, or having 14 daily backups on-site.Reference:Veeam Certified Architect 2022 Exam Guide, page 9;Veeam Backup & Replication v11: Architecture and Design course, module 4.

I remember discussing the importance of having on-premises backups, but I’m torn between options B and C.

I feel like option A sounds familiar, but I’m not confident if it’s the correct retention strategy for this project.

Fernanda 1 year ago

I recall a practice question that mentioned something about daily and weekly backups, but I'm not sure if 14 daily backups is the right answer here.

Kris 1 year ago

I think the retention requirement might be related to the number of backups we need to keep, but I can't remember the exact numbers.

Louisa 1 year ago

Alright, I think the key here is to have at least one copy of the protected data on-premises, so the answer is C. That seems like the most straightforward requirement.

I'm a bit confused by this question. The options seem to cover different aspects of data retention, but I'm not sure which one is the actual requirement. I'll need to re-read it carefully.

I've got this one! The retention requirement is to have on-premises backups on hardened backup repositories, so the answer is B.

Laine 1 year ago

Okay, let me see here. I think the answer might be A, with the specific backup schedule. But I'm not totally sure, I'll need to double-check the details.
