Explanation:
Explanation
To design a solution that meets the backup and replication requirements for Veeam University Hospital, you need to consider some of the components that are needed for the on-premises design. This will help you to ensure the performance and reliability of the backup and replication operations, as well as the scalability and manageability of the backup infrastructure.
According to the Veeam Backup & Replication Best Practice Guide1, some of the components that are needed for the on-premises design are:
*Backup server. This is the core component of Veeam Backup & Replication that controls and coordinates backups, replication, recovery verification, and restore tasks. It also manages backup infrastructure components, such as proxy servers, repository servers, WAN accelerators, etc. You need to have a backup server at each site, as recommended by the best practice guide2.
*Backup proxy. This is a component that retrieves data from the source host, processes it and transfers to the backup repository. It also performs data compression, deduplication, encryption, etc. You need to have at least one backup proxy at each site, as recommended by the best practice guide3.
*Backup repository. This is a server where Veeam Backup & Replication keeps backup files, backup copies and metadata of replicated VMs. It can be a Windows or Linux server, a NAS device, a deduplication appliance, etc. You need to have at least one backup repository at each site, as recommended by the best practice guide4.
*Mount server. This is a component that mounts backup files from the backup repository to the backup proxy during restore operations. It also performs data decompression, deduplication, decryption, etc. You need to have a mount server at each site where you plan to perform restores, as recommended by the best practice guide5.
*Gateway server. This is a component that acts as a data mover between the backup proxy and the backup repository when they are located in different sites or networks. It also performs data encryption and decryption for secure data transfer. You need to have a gateway server at each site where you have a backup repository that is accessed by a remote backup proxy, as recommended by the best practice guide.
Therefore, based on these components, the answer that describes which components are needed for the on-premises design is D. Backup server, backup proxy, backup repository, mount server, gateway server.

NEW QUESTION # 49
Upon further discussions with the database administrador, it was discovered that they would preferent their transaction log backups to exist alongside their image-level SQL application aware backups residing on object storage. How can this be accomplished?

• A. Using SQL native tools, send logs to dedicated virtual machine, schedule a task calling a cloud vendor object storage CLI for offload.
• B. Using SQL native tools, send logs to a dedicated virtual machine, protect with image-level backups, using Scale-out Backup Repository capacity tier for offload.
• C. Using virtual machine backup jobs, send the log shipping data to a dedicated repository, protect with an image-level backup, using Scale-out Backup Repository capacity tier for offload.
• D. Using virtual machine backup jobs with log shipping enabled, send this to a Scale-out Backup Repository and use Scale-out Backup Repository capacity tier for offload.

Answer: D

Explanation:
Explanation
*Virtual machine backup jobs with log shipping enabled allow you to create image-level backups of SQL Server databases and also back up the transaction logs periodically12.
*Scale-out Backup Repository is a logical entity that groups several backup repositories into a single pool of storage, allowing for better backup performance, scalability, and management3.
*Scale-out Backup Repository capacity tier is a feature that allows you to offload older backup files to a public cloud object storage, such as Amazon S3 or Azure Blob Storage .
The other options are not as effective or efficient, as they either do not use Veeam features, do not offload to object storage, or do not create image-level backups.

Explanation:
Explanation
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.

NEW QUESTION # 53
During architecture planning, Veeam Life and Indemnity decides that recovery point objective of gold tier machines should change from one hour to three hours with daily retention set to seven days. What will be impact on the Veeam design?

• A. Proxies will require fewer resources
• B. More proxy servers will be required
• C. The Veeam database size will increase.
• D. Repositories will require more resources.

Answer: A

Explanation:
Explanation
If the recovery point objective (RPO) of gold tier machines changes from one hour to three hours with daily retention set to seven days, the impact on the Veeam design is that proxies will require fewer resources. This is because the backup frequency and the number of restore points for gold tier machines will decrease, which means that less data will need to be processed and transferred by the proxies. Therefore, the proxies will have lower CPU, memory, disk, and network utilization and can handle more backup tasks with the same resources.

NEW QUESTION # 59
Which of the following is risk for this project?

• A. The backup solution must support VMware encrypted datastores.
• B. Linux and Windows files server backups must be searchable during a self-service restore.
• C. End-user laptop backups must have a recovery time objective of 30 minutes.
• D. Data must be replicate with one-hour recovery point objective.

Answer: D

Explanation:
Explanation
To design a solution that meets the needs and requirements of Veeam University Hospital, you need to consider some of the risks and challenges that may affect the success and quality of the project. This will help you to identify and mitigate any potential issues or errors that may arise during the implementation or operation of the solution.
According to the Veeam Backup & Replication Best Practice Guide, a risk is a factor that may negatively impact the performance, reliability, security, or functionality of the backup and replication solution. A risk may be caused by internal or external factors, such as technical limitations, environmental constraints, human errors, etc.
Based on this definition, one of the possible risks for this project is C. Data must be replicated with one-hour recovery point objective.
This risk means that:
*The recovery point objective (RPO) is a business requirement that defines the maximum acceptable amount of data loss in case of a disaster or failure. It is measured in time units, such as minutes, hours, or days.
*The data replication is a technical solution that allows you to create replicas of your running workloads on another host or site. It is used for disaster recovery purposes, as it enables you to quickly fail over and fail back in case of a disaster.
*The one-hour RPO is a challenging and demanding requirement that may be difficult toachieve or maintain, depending on various factors, such as the data change rate, the available bandwidth, the replication frequency, etc.
*The one-hour RPO may also conflict or contradict with other requirements or expectations, such as the backup window, the backup retention, the backup storage capacity, etc.
This risk has some implications for designing a solution with Veeam products and features, such as:
*The customer or a third-party vendor must monitor and measure the data change rate of the workloads that need to be replicated, as well as the available bandwidth between sites. This will help to plan and optimize the replication infrastructure, such as the proxy servers, repository servers, WAN accelerators, and failover plans, based on the data change rate.
*The customer or a third-party vendor must configure and adjust the replication settings and policies, such as the replication method, schedule, frequency, retention, compression, deduplication, etc., based on the one-hour RPO. This will help to improve the replication performance and efficiency, as well as to meet the RPO requirement.
*The customer or a third-party vendor must test and verify the replication results and processes, as well as perform regular failover and failback drills. This will help to ensure the reliability and consistency of the replicas, as well as to validate and improve the RPO achievement.

NEW QUESTION # 60
During further discussions, the 3-2-1 rule was recommended. What is the most efficient way to protect primary and secondary sites following the 3-2-1 rule?

• A. Use storage snapshot support to backup a virtual machine using the secondary array. Backup snapshots on the secondary site and tier this to object storage using Scale-out Backup Repository capacity tier.
• B. From existing backups at the primary site, create a backup copy to the secondary site. Offload backup data to object storage using Scale-out Backup Repository capacity tier.
• C. Send replicas directly from the primary to the secondary site. Backup replicas on the secondary site and tier this to object storage using Scale-out Backup Repository capacity tier.
• D. Send backups directly from the primary to the secondary site, avoiding duplicate data storage. Tier backup data to object storage using Scale-out Backup Repository capacity tier.

Answer: B

Explanation:
Explanation
Option A follows the 3-2-1 rule by having three copies of data (the original production data, the backup at the primary site, and the backup copy at the secondary site), two different media types (local disk and object storage), and one copy off-site (the backup copy at the secondary site). This option also reduces the amount of traffic sent over the network by using existing backups as seeds for backup copies, and reduces the storage costs by using cloud tier to move older backups to cheaper and unlimited cloud storage1 Reference: What is the 3-2-1 backup rule? - Veeam

NEW QUESTION # 61
Assuming that you put the backup repositories in the backup network only, what possible issue could arise?

• A. Capacity Tier Could offload is no possible.
• B. SQL logs cannot be shipped to repository.
• C. The proxies cannot communicate with the repositories.
• D. Laptop agents cannot communicate with the repository.

Answer: D

Explanation:
Explanation
A possible issue that could arise if you put the backup repositories in the backup network only is that laptop agents cannot communicate with the repository. This is because laptop agents are not part of the backup network, which is non-routable according to the existing technical environment.Therefore, laptop agents cannot access or write data to the backup repositories in the backup network unless there is a proxy or gateway server that can bridge the communication between them.

NEW QUESTION # 62
Which of the following could cause failures to meet the requirement to test gold tier backups?

• A. You cannot firewall traffic between vLANs in the SureBackup job configuration.
• B. Backup jobs run every hour.
• C. There may be too many networks.
• D. The LAN bandwidth is not sufficient for vPower NFS datastores.

Answer: A

Explanation:
Explanation
A possible cause of failures to meet the requirement to test gold tier backups is that you cannot firewall traffic between vLANs in the SureBackup job configuration. This could prevent the gold tier virtual machines from communicating with each other or with other required services in the isolated virtual lab. For example, if a gold tier virtual machine needs to access a database server or a domain controller in another vLAN, it might fail to start or function properly in the SureBackup job. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all necessary vLANs and network settings are configured correctly in the SureBackup job.

NEW QUESTION # 63
How would you configure replication with seeding, considering this deployment will have a Veeam Backup Server in both the primary and secondary site?

• A. On the Veeam Backup & Replication server at the primary site, create a backup job of the source virtual machine from the primary site. At the secondary site, create a replica job pointing to the repository with the backup job data.
• B. On the Veeam Backup & Replication server at the primary site, create a backup job and backup copy job sending data to the secondary site. At the secondary site, create a replica job pointing to therepository with the backup copy data.
• C. On the Veeam Backup & Replication server at the primary site, create a backup job of the source machine from the primary site. At the secondary site import seeding data from this backup job. Create a replica job pointing to this backup job using re-mapping.
• D. On the Veeam Backup & Replication server at the secondary site, create a backup job of the source virtual machine from the primary site. At the secondary site, create a backup copy job pulling the data from the primary and create a replica job pointing to the repository with the backup copy data.

Answer: A

Explanation:
Explanation
Option C uses replica seeding to reduce the network traffic during the initial replication. By creating a backup job of the source VM at the primary site and pointing the replica job to that backup repository at the secondary site, Veeam Backup & Replication can restore the VM from the backup and synchronize it with the latest state of the source VM. Then it can use the restored VM as a replica2 Reference: Replica Seeding and Mapping - User Guide for VMware vSphere

NEW QUESTION # 64
Which strategy will satisfy the customer's requirements for protection against ransomware?

• A. Deploy a ReFS Scale-Out Backup Repository and configure for immutability.
• B. Configure Linux Scale-out Backup Repositories in different physical locations and configure backup copy jobs in immediate mode.
• C. Deploy a Scale-out Backup Repository with Linux repositories and configure capacity tier to offload to immutable cloud storage.
• D. Deploy ReFS Scale-out Backup Repositories, and perform a backup copy to a different repository at the same time.

Answer: C

Explanation:
Explanation
*Use Linux repositories as the performance tier, which are more secure and resilient than Windows repositories, as they support immutable backups and prevent ransomware from accessing or deleting backup files1.
*Use immutable cloud storage as the capacity tier, which will offload older backup files to a public cloud object storage that supports immutability, such as Amazon S3 Object Lock or Azure Blob Storage with immutable policies2. This will ensure that the backup files cannot be modified or deleted by ransomware or malicious users for a specified period of time.
*Use Scale-out Backup Repository, which is a logical entity that groups several backup repositories into a single pool of storage, allowing for better backup performance, scalability, and management3.

*OneDrive. This area would benefit from additional analysis because OneDrive is used by all doctor and lab staff to store their user data on their laptops, which also need to be backed up. You need to collect more information about the usage and performance of OneDrive, such as the number and size of files, the synchronization frequency and settings, the authentication and authorization methods, etc. This will help you to design a solution that can protect and recover OneDrive data, as well as exclude any operating system or personal files from backup.
Topic 2, Veeam Life and Indemnity
Executive Summary:
Veeam Life and Indemnity is expanding its existing Veeam backup infrastructure to protect additional virtual machines, physical server and NAS workloads at their Fresno, CA and Carson City, NY data centers.
The original installation and configuration of Veeam software occurred two years ago. Since the installation, the organization has grown, and as a result, the Veeam Infrastructure needs to be resized to accommodate the existing and new workloads.
For the past three months, Veeam Life and Indemnity has noticed that they are having issues with backups completing within the allotted backup window. Only 40% of backup jobs complete successfully, so they have broken the backups into two sets, and they run them on alternating days. They have also stopped all backups for their development environment.
In addition, the original configuration required a daily backup copy job, but to the issue with backups completing, this has been modified to run only on Sundays.
They have also noticed a degradation in storage performance and are having to purchase new storage on a quarterly basis to accommodate data growth.
Solution Concept:
Veeam Life and Indemnity is upgrading Veeam Backup & Replication to the last version. They are also replacing all legacy physical hardware and storage with current generation equipment. Veeam Life and Indemnity wants to be able to ensure that all backups, including production and dev test workloads, can run every night and that all backups complete within the required backup window. In addition, Veeam Life and Indemnity would like to run daily copy jobs to ensure that a copy of all backed up data resides at both physical sites.
Veeam Life and Indemnity has also expressed concern about the threat of ransomware. They have not experienced a data breach of any kind but would like to ensure the ability of recover should one occur.
Existing Technical Environment:
Veeam Life and Indemnity has VMware clusters in all locations. These clusters are broken into two categories:
general use virtual workloads, and application specific workloads, such as MSSQL and Oracle.
All customer data is subject to government regulation and must be kept secure at all times.
Veeam Life and Indemnity has a proprietary CRM system that must be quiesced prior to backup.
All email is hosted in Office 365.
All database servers are virtualized.
All virtual machines are categorized as either gold, silver, or bronze, with different service-level agreements based on tier.
All backups currently encrypted in flight and at rest.
Internet connectivity at both sites is current 1 Gbps, with plans to increase to 2 Gbps soon.
All field sales reps are assigned a company laptop that runs a CRM client.
The LAN at each location supports up to 40 Gbps bandwidth.
All backups are currently written to Scaled-out Backup Repositories with each extent residing on a CIFS share.
Each department has its own vLAN, with a total of 30 vLANs for production traffic.
A single management vLAN is stretched between sites.
All unstructured data resides either on 10 NFS shares on the company's incumbent NAS devices, or Windows file servers as file shares.
VMware uses vSAN for VM datastores.
All vLAN must traverse a firewall to communicate, and the backup network itself is no routable.
All network traffic between clusters is required to traverse a firewall.
The firewall devices can support up to 20 Gbps.
Business Requirements:
Due to limited manpower, all backups should be dynamically scope.
All backups must be copied across site outside of the current backup window to avoid any backup performance issues.
Due to the sensitivity of customer data, tier 1 helpdesk personnel must not be able to access these backups.
They should have access to restore non-customer data.
Backup administrators are subject toa rigorous background check and should be the only staff able to perform restores of confidential customer data.
For any legal issues, fast and timely discovery from backup data should be supported.
For security purposes, all storage should be hardened to prevent data breaches.
Remote sales staff should have the ability to start a backup oh their devices.
Due to regulatory requirements, audits must be performed periodically to ensure successful and consistent backups, as well adherence to security policies.

Explanation
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 assignedto 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.
