VEEAM VMCE_v12 Exam - Topic 1 Question 4 Discussion

Actual exam question for VEEAM's VMCE_v12 exam

Question #: 4
Topic #: 1

Veeam Backup & Replication is currently configured to keep backups for 14 days on a NAS repository. An engineer needs to enable GFS with 12 monthly and 5 yearly full backups to extend the retention for archival purposes but does not have enough space on the repository to store them.

After adding the repository to Scale-Out-Backup Repository (SOBR) as Performance Tier, which option should the engineer choose to solve this issue?

AAdd an Object Storage as Capacity tier and set the policy to copy backups to object storage as soon as they are created

BAdd another NAS repository as Capacity tier and set the policy to move backups older than 14 days

CAdd an Object Storage as Archive tier and set the policy to move all GFS backups

DAdd an Object Storage as Capacity tier and set the policy to move backups older than 14 days

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

To solve the space issue while enabling GFS retention, the engineer should add an Object Storage as a Capacity tier to the Scale-Out Backup Repository (SOBR) and set the policy to move backups that are older than 14 days. This approach allows for efficient use of local NAS storage for short-term retention and leverages object storage for long-term archival purposes.

Adding another NAS might just complicate things more.

Surprised they didn't mention using cloud storage earlier!

I’m not sure about that, wouldn’t moving older backups be better?

GFS needs more space, so object storage is a good move.

I recall that we should be looking to move backups older than a certain period to optimize storage. Option D seems to align with that, but I need to double-check the specifics.

I’m a bit confused about the difference between capacity and archive tiers. I feel like we might need to move older backups to free up space, but which option does that?

I think we practiced a similar question where we had to manage space issues with backups. Adding an object storage as a capacity tier sounds familiar.

I remember something about using object storage for long-term retention, but I'm not sure if it's the capacity or archive tier that we need here.

This is a good test of our Veeam knowledge. I'm pretty confident that option C, adding an Object Storage as the Archive tier and moving all the GFS backups there, is the way to go.

I'm a bit confused by the different tiers and policies. I'll need to review the Veeam documentation to make sure I understand how the Scale-Out Backup Repository works before I can decide on the right approach.

Okay, I think I've got this. Adding an Object Storage as the Capacity tier and setting the policy to copy backups as soon as they're created seems like the best way to extend the retention without running out of space.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully consider the options and think through the implications of each.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the SNMP and HTTPS options. I'll have to think through those carefully before selecting anything.

Option A could work, but I'm worried that creating an authorized view might not be scalable enough for this use case. I'd lean more towards a cloud-native solution like option D.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the key priorities for a supply chain focused on reliability.

I remember discussing in class how silo-based approaches can lead to trouble, so I'm hesitant about option B.

I'm a little confused by this question. There seem to be a few different options, and I'm not sure which one is the best approach. I'll need to think it through carefully and make sure I understand the requirements before answering.
