VEEAM VMCE_v12 Exam - Topic 2 Question 44 Discussion

Actual exam question for VEEAM's VMCE_v12 exam
Question #: 44
Topic #: 2
[All VMCE_v12 Questions]

The engineer needs to back up sensitive data located on VMware vSphere encrypted VMs. The company policy prioritizes data security over anything else.

In the backup infrastructure, the engineer has configured:

One physical proxy configured on the DirectSAN Access transport mode, for fast data transfer speed and less load on the production network

Two physical proxies in NBDSSL

Encryption has been enabled on the backup job

Which action will allow the VM data to remain encrypted during the entire backup process?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

To ensure that the VM data remains encrypted throughout the backup process, the job should be configured to use the proxies with the NBDSSL (Network Block Device SSL) transport mode. This mode encrypts data transferred over the network, adhering to the company policy that prioritizes data security. While DirectSAN Access is fast, it does not provide encryption of in-flight data.

Wait, there's an option to re-encrypt the data? That's hilarious, who would even consider that?

Hmm, D sounds like a lot of extra work. I'd go with B and keep it simple.

C) would be faster, but B is the safer option. Can't risk that sensitive data getting compromised.

I’m not confident about the custom script option; it seems like an unnecessary step when there are built-in methods to ensure encryption.

This question feels similar to one we practiced where we had to choose the right transport mode for security. I think NBDSSL might be the way to go.

I think using the DirectSAN Access mode might bypass some encryption, but I need to double-check how that works with encrypted VMs.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions that encryption has already been enabled on the backup job, so I'm not sure if that's enough to keep the data secure. Maybe option D, using a custom script to re-encrypt the data, would be the safest approach? But I'm not totally sure, so I'll have to think about it some more.

I'm pretty confident that option B is the way to go here. The question states that the company prioritizes data security, and using the NBDSSL proxies should ensure the VM data remains encrypted throughout the backup process. The other options don't seem to address the security requirement as directly.

Okay, let me think this through. Since the company prioritizes data security, I don't think option A or D are good choices, as they don't seem to maintain the encryption during the backup process. I'm leaning towards option B, using the NBDSSL proxies, as that seems to be the most secure approach.

I remember that NBDSSL is supposed to provide encryption during the backup, but I'm not entirely sure if it’s the best option here.

I think the key here is that the company policy prioritizes data security, so we need to make sure the VM data remains encrypted throughout the backup process. Option B seems like the best choice since it uses the NBDSSL proxies, which should keep the data encrypted.
