A file from a backup that occurred the week of Jan, 1 must be recovered. Where is thedata?A. The performance tierB. The data is no longer in the Scale-out Backup RepositoryC. The capacity tierD. The archive tierAnswer:CExplanation:Based on the configuration shown in the image, backups older than 21 days are moved to the capacitytier. Since the VMware backup job retention is set for 31 days and keeps weekly GFS full backups for 14weeks, the backup from the week of January 1st is older than 21 days but within the 14-week GFSretention policy. Therefore, as of March 20, the backup data you need to recover would be in thecapacity tier, not on the local performance tier, because it has been offloaded to the object storageconfigured as the capacity tier to reduce long-term retention costs.Reference: Veeam Backup & Replication Documentation, Scale-Out Backup Repository Configuration2/ 49

Enable Immutability on the NASB. Add 24 monthly GFS restore points to the backup jobC. Configure a Scale-Out Backup Repository with NAS and Amazon S3D. Move the backups from the NAS to a Linux Hardened RepositoryE. Enable immutability in Amazon S3Answer:A, EExplanation:To meet the new regulatory requirements, enabling immutability on both the NAS and Amazon S3 isessential. Immutability prevents backup files from being deleted or modified, aligning with therequirement to protect the most recent 31 days of backup files. By enabling this feature on the NAS andAmazon S3, the business ensures that both local and offsite copies of their data are secure andcompliant with the regulation. The other options do not directly address the new requirements ofpreventing deletion or modification of backup files.Reference: Veeam Documentation: Immutability SettingsVeeam Help Center: Configuring Amazon S3 Immutability5.A Veeam engineer creates a Scale-Out Backup Repository (SOBR) that uses AWS S3 as thePerformance Tier. The backup job is configured to "Keep monthly full backups for: 12 months". Theengineer 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 GlacierB. Add AWS S3 as a Capacity Tier before they can use GlacierC. Add an Archive Tier with the appropriate Bucket from S3D. Reconfigure the SOBR to use block storage as the Performance TierAnswer:BExplanation:In Veeam Backup & Replication, to utilize AWS S3 Glacier for long-term storage, the AWS S3 must firstbe added as a Capacity Tier within the Scale-Out Backup Repository (SOBR). This step is necessarybefore backups can be moved to Glacier. Once S3 is established as the Capacity Tier, the policies formoving backups to Glacier can be configured based on the retention requirements (in this case, after 90days). This approach ensures that the monthly full backups are initially stored in S3 and then offloaded toGlacier for cost-effective long-term retention.Reference: Veeam Documentation: Scale-Out Backup RepositoryVeeam Help Center: AWS S3 as Capacity Tier and Archive Tier Configuration4/ 49
