The customer decides to add extra proxy in anticipation of an acquisition that is planned for 12 months out, rather than wait until the acquisition is completed to expand the Veeam Infrastructure. What will be the immediate result of adding the extra proxy server?

AThe time for backup to complete could be reduced.

BRepository capacity will decrease.

CThe size of the Veeam Backup & Replication database will double.

DExtra repository servers will be needed.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Thank you for your question. I'm glad to help you with your VMCA 2022 project.

To design a solution that meets the needs and requirements of Veeam University Hospital, you need to consider the impact and benefit of adding extra proxy servers to your backup infrastructure. This will help you to optimize the performance and efficiency of your backup and restore operations, as well as to prepare for future growth and expansion.

According to the web search results, a proxy server is a component that retrieves data from the source host, processes it and transfers to the backup repository. It also performs data compression, deduplication, encryption, etc. You can deploy backup proxies both in the primary site and in remote sites1.

The immediate result of adding the extra proxy server is A. The time for backup to complete could be reduced.

This result means that:

* The time for backup to complete is a metric that measures how long it takes to perform a backup job from start to finish. It depends on various factors, such as the size and type of data, the backup method and frequency, the network bandwidth and latency, etc.

* Adding an extra proxy server can reduce the time for backup to complete, by distributing the backup workload between available proxy servers. This can improve the backup performance and efficiency, as well as reduce the impact on the production environment.

* Reducing the time for backup to complete can also help you to meet your backup window and recovery point objective (RPO) requirements, as well as to free up more resources for other tasks or jobs.

No way, repository capacity won't decrease with more proxies.

I don’t think the database size will double just because we add a proxy. That seems too drastic for just one change.

I’m a bit confused about the repository capacity. I thought adding proxies wouldn’t affect it directly, but I could be wrong.

This is a good one! I'm pretty confident that the correct answer is A - the time for backups to complete could be reduced. Adding an extra proxy server should allow Veeam to parallelize the backup process more effectively.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I know Veeam uses proxy servers, but I'm not sure how adding an extra one would impact things like repository capacity or the Veeam database size. I'll have to review my Veeam knowledge before attempting this.

Okay, let's see here. Adding an extra proxy server should help distribute the backup workload, so I'm guessing the time to complete backups would be reduced. That's my best guess for this one.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know Veeam has proxy servers, but I'm not entirely clear on how adding an extra one would affect the backup process. I'll need to think this through carefully.

I don't think so, the question specifically mentions that the extra proxy is being added in anticipation of an acquisition, so the immediate result should be faster backups.
