If the repositories are able to accomplish much higher throughput, a new issue that might come up is that the bandwidth between sites might not be sufficient to support the backup copy jobs that need to run daily between Fresno and Carson City. This could cause the backup copy jobs to fail, take longer than expected, or consume too much network resources. Therefore, it is important to measure the available bandwidth between the sites and compare it with the backup copy data size and window. If the bandwidth is not sufficient, some possible solutions are to use compression, deduplication, or WAN acceleration to reduce the backup copy traffic.

The recommended method to replicate VMware virtual machines with a less than five-minute RPO is Veeam Continuous Data Protection (CDP). CDP is a feature that allows near-continuous replication of VMware virtual machines to a secondary site or cluster with minimal data loss and downtime. CDP uses VMware vSphere APIs for I/O Filtering (VAIO) to capture every write operation from the source VMs and send them to the target VMs in near real-time. CDP can achieve RPOs as low as seconds and enable fast failover and failback in case of a disaster.

Based on the customer Windows and Linux file server backup requirements, the best component to help them meet their stated objectives is Backup Enterprise Manager with indexing enabled on virtual machine and Agent backups with RBAC policies. This is because:

* Backup Enterprise Manager allows the customer to manage and monitor backup jobs across multiple backup servers from a single web-based interface1.

* Indexing enables the customer to perform file-level recovery from the backups of Windows and Linux servers, as well as search for files across all backups2.

* RBAC policies allow the customer to delegate permissions to different users and groups for performing file-level recovery, based on their roles and restore scopes3.

According to the Veeam Backup & Replication Best Practice Guide1, some of the reasons why it is recommended to have a Veeam backup server at each of the three sites are:

* Each site has production data. This reason is based on the principle of locality, which states that backup data should be stored as close as possible to the source data, to reduce network traffic and latency, and to improve backup and restore speed and efficiency. Having a Veeam backup server at each site allows you to perform local backups of the production data at each site, without having to cross the WAN or VPN connections between sites.

The methods that should be used to scope virtual machine backups based on customer requirements are to create backups based on tags and to create backup jobs with same retention requirements. Creating backups based on tags allows dynamic scoping of backups based on VMware tags assigned to virtual machines. This can simplify backup management, as new or modified virtual machines will be automatically included or excluded from backup jobs based on their tags. Creating backup jobs with same retention requirements allows consistent application of backup policies based on the backup tiers defined by the customer. This can ensure compliance with regulatory and business needs, as different tiers of virtual machines will have different retention periods and restore points.

To design a solution that meets the replication requirement for Veeam University Hospital, you need to consider some of the mitigating techniques that might be required for the virtual machines that have several separate large VMDKs with a high change rate per virtual machine on the same datastore. This will help you to overcome some of the challenges and limitations that may affect the replication performance and efficiency, as well as the recovery point objective (RPO) of the organization.

According to the Veeam Backup & Replication Best Practice Guide, some of the mitigating techniques that might be required are:

* Implement WAN accelerator. This technique can help you to reduce the amount of data that needs to be transferred and processed between the source and target sites, by using caching, deduplication, compression, and encryption. You need to deploy a pair of WAN accelerators, one at the source site and one at the target site, and configure them in the replication job settings. This technique can improve the replication speed and efficiency, as well as save network bandwidth and storage space.

* Recommend migrating some of the VMDKs to alternative datastores. This technique can help you to avoid performance degradation and resource contention on the source datastore, by distributing the load and I/O across multiple datastores. You need to use VMware tools or commands, such as Storage vMotion or svmotion, to migrate some of the VMDKs to other datastores that have enough capacity and performance. This technique can improve the replication stability and reliability, as well as reduce the impact on the production environment.

Therefore, based on these techniques, the answer that describes which mitigating techniques might be required is A and C.

The number of vSphere clusters and the total of virtual machines are important information related to the virtual infrastructure that are missing and must be collected during the discovery phase. These information can help you estimate the backup performance, scalability, and resource requirements for the Veeam backup infrastructure. For example, you can use the number of vSphere clusters to determine how many Veeam backup servers and proxies you need to deploy and how to distribute the backup load among them. You can also use the total of virtual machines to calculate the total amount of data to be backed up, the storage space required, and the network bandwidth needed.

The recommended storage option for the backups kept on-premises is a physical server with Veeam Hardened Repository. A Veeam Hardened Repository is a type of backup repository that provides immutability and ransomware protection for backup files by using Linux XFS file system features and Linux access control mechanisms. A physical server is preferred over a virtual server for better performance, security, and scalability. A Veeam Hardened Repository meets the customer's requirements for compliance, security, and retention, as well as supports all backup types and features.
