It is Mar, 20. A file from a backup that occurred the week of Jan, 1 must be recovered. Where is the data? A. The performance tier B. The data is no longer in the Scale-out Backup Repository C. The capacity tier D. The archive tier Answer: C Explanation: Based on the configuration shown in the image, backups older than 21 days are moved to the capacity tier. Since the VMware backup job retention is set for 31 days and keeps weekly GFS full backups for 14 weeks, the backup from the week of January 1st is older than 21 days but within the 14-week GFS retention policy. Therefore, as of March 20, the backup data you need to recover would be in the capacity tier, not on the local performance tier, because it has been offloaded to the object storage configured as the capacity tier to reduce long-term retention costs.

Prevent the most recent 31 days of any backup files from being deleted or modified Keep 1 copy of a monthly restore point around for 2 years They have the following setup: A standalone repository on a NAS A backup job keeping 31 days of restore points A backup copy job to an Amazon S3 Repository, keeping 31 days of backups and 24 monthly GFS restore points Which two actions should the engineer take to change the environment to meet the new requirements? (Choose two.) A. Enable Immutability on the NAS B. Add 24 monthly GFS restore points to the backup job C. Configure a Scale-Out Backup Repository with NAS and Amazon S3 D. Move the backups from the NAS to a Linux Hardened Repository E. Enable immutability in Amazon S3 Answer: A, E Explanation: To meet the new regulatory requirements, enabling immutability on both the NAS and Amazon S3 is essential. Immutability prevents backup files from being deleted or modified, aligning with the requirement to protect the most recent 31 days of backup files. By enabling this feature on the NAS and Amazon S3, the business ensures that both local and offsite copies of their data are secure and compliant with the regulation. The other options do not directly address the new requirements of preventing deletion or modification of backup files. Reference: Veeam Documentation: Immutability Settings Veeam Help Center: Configuring Amazon S3 Immutability 5.A Veeam engineer creates a Scale-Out Backup Repository (SOBR) that uses AWS S3 as the Performance Tier. The backup job is configured to "Keep monthly full backups for: 12 months". The engineer wants the backups to move to Glacier after 90 days. What should the engineer do first to achieve this goal? A. Create a Vault in S3 Glacier B. Add AWS S3 as a Capacity Tier before they can use Glacier C. Add an Archive Tier with the appropriate Bucket from S3 D. Reconfigure the SOBR to use block storage as the Performance Tier Answer: B Explanation: In Veeam Backup & Replication, to utilize AWS S3 Glacier for long-term storage, the AWS S3 must first be added as a Capacity Tier within the Scale-Out Backup Repository (SOBR). This step is necessary before backups can be moved to Glacier. Once S3 is established as the Capacity Tier, the policies for moving backups to Glacier can be configured based on the retention requirements (in this case, after 90 days). This approach ensures that the monthly full backups are initially stored in S3 and then offloaded to Glacier for cost-effective long-term retention.

To clarify how many restore points need to be recovered at the same time C. To determine the maximum length of time a workload or application can be down D. To confirm the data loss tolerance of a Business Unit or Organization Answer: D Explanation: Recovery Point Objective (RPO) refers to the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. It is essentially the age of the files that must be recovered from backup storage for normal operations to resume after a failure or disaster. In other words, it defines the data loss tolerance of a business unit or organization. If an RPO is set to one hour, the system must back up at least every hour to meet the RPO.

The immutability period is set to 60 days. The backup settings are: Retention Policy: 14 days GFS Weekly full backup: 1 week GFS Monthly full backup: 6 months If a full backup is created on 27th May 2023 with a monthly GFS flag, when will this restore point be automatically deleted? A. 2V June 2023 B. 28th July 2023 C. 28th November 2023 D. 5th August 2023 Answer: C Explanation: The immutability period set on a Linux Hardened Repository prevents deletion of backup files for the duration of the immutability period. In this case, it is set to 60 days. However, the GFS (Grandfather- Father-Son) retention policy specifies that a monthly full backup is to be kept for 6 months. Since the full backup was created on 27th May 2023 and flagged as a monthly GFS backup, it will be retained for 6 months irrespective of the retention policy or the immutability setting. Hence, the restore point will be automatically deleted after 6 months, which would be on the 28th of November 2023.
