VEEAM VMCE_v12 Exam - Topic 8 Question 15 Discussion

Actual exam question for VEEAM's VMCE_v12 exam

Question #: 15
Topic #: 8

A backup administrator is called in to review a new Veeam deployment created by a coworker. The backup administrator takes the following notes:

* 12 backup jobs

* 1 SOBR configured with AWS S3 Performance Tier

* 1 Repository configured on Hardened Immutable Repository

The administrator also notes that six jobs are configured to use the SOBR and six jobs are configured to use the Hardened Immutable Repository.

What should the backup administrator report to the other coworker regarding the 3-2-1 backup strategy?

AThis will save costs with the Archive Tier in the SOBR.

BThis needs the Hardened Immutable Repository added to the capacity tier.

CThis only has 1 copy of the backup data.

DThis meets the 3-2-1 best practices requirements.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The 3-2-1 backup strategy is a best practice that suggests having three total copies of your data, two of which are local but on different devices or media, and one copy offsite. In the described scenario, although there is an offsite component (SOBR with AWS S3 Performance Tier), and a local hardened immutable repository, there is no indication of a second local copy on a different device or media. This means that there is only one local copy of the backup data and one offsite copy. Therefore, the setup does not meet the 3-2-1 best practices requirement, which would involve having at least one more local copy on different media or device.

I think it meets the 3-2-1 strategy overall.

The Hardened Immutable Repository is solid though.

I feel like this setup might meet the 3-2-1 strategy, but I need to double-check if having two different repositories counts as two separate locations.

From what I practiced, it seems like there’s only one copy of the backup data here since the jobs are split between two locations.

I think the Hardened Immutable Repository is important, but I can't recall if it needs to be part of the capacity tier for the SOBR to be compliant.

I remember the 3-2-1 rule means having three copies of data, but I'm not sure if this setup actually meets that requirement.

Alright, I think I've got it. The 3-2-1 strategy requires 3 copies of the data, 2 different media types, and 1 offsite. With the SOBR and Hardened Immutable Repository, this setup looks like it's covering all the bases. I'd report that it meets the 3-2-1 best practices.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. If there's only one copy of the backup data, that doesn't seem to meet the 3-2-1 best practices. I'll need to double-check the requirements to make sure I'm understanding this correctly.

I think the key here is that the Hardened Immutable Repository is being used, which should meet the "1" part of the 3-2-1 strategy. As long as the SOBR is configured properly, this setup should be good to go.

Okay, let's see here. We have 12 backup jobs, with 6 using the SOBR and 6 using the Hardened Immutable Repository. That seems to cover the "3" part of the 3-2-1 strategy. But I'm not sure if the SOBR with just the AWS S3 Performance Tier is enough for the "2" part.

I've got this! The answer is D. netmiko. I remember using it in a project to automate some network tasks, and it worked great with Paramiko under the hood.

Ah, I think I know the answer to this one. The protocol used for communication between Cisco IM and Presence and Microsoft Exchange Server is XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol). This is a widely used protocol for instant messaging and presence, which aligns with the integration between Cisco's IM and Presence solution and Microsoft Exchange.

Haha, this sounds like a tricky one! I bet the backup administrator is going to have to do some serious troubleshooting to figure out if this setup really meets the 3-2-1 requirements. I hope they have a good sense of humor.

Hmm, the 3-2-1 strategy is all about having three copies of the data, two of which are on different media, and one offsite. This setup seems to have two copies, but I'm not sure if the SOBR with AWS S3 counts as offsite.

I'm not sure about this one. The Hardened Immutable Repository sounds like it might be part of the 3-2-1 strategy, but I'm not sure if it's enough on its own.
