VEEAM VMCE_v12 Exam - Topic 11 Question 36 Discussion

Actual exam question for VEEAM's VMCE_v12 exam

Question #: 36
Topic #: 11

A company's infrastructure consists of multiple Hyper-V servers that store VMs on local storage. Which proxy should be used to back up these VMs?

AVM proxy

BGuest interaction proxy

CFile proxy

DOn-host backup proxy

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

For Hyper-V environments where VMs are stored on local storage, the On-host backup proxy should be used. This type of proxy processes jobs directly on the host where the Hyper-V role is enabled, allowing it to interact directly with the local VM storage. It is suitable for infrastructures with multiple Hyper-V servers storing VMs locally. Reference:

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like the guest interaction proxy is more for application-aware backups, not just VMs.

Based on my understanding, the VM proxy is the most appropriate choice since it's specifically designed for backing up VMs, which is what the question is asking about.

The key here is that the VMs are stored on local storage, so I'd say the on-host backup proxy is the best option to handle that scenario.
