The Production Infrastructure

81
Q

If you start a planned failover for several VMs that are replicated with one replication job, will these VMs be processed one by one or in parallel.

A

VMs will be processed one by one

82
Q

During the planned failover, Veeam creates HOW MANY helper restore points that are not deleted afterwards? These restore points will appear in the list of restore points for this VM; you can use them later to roll back to the necessary VM replica state.

A

2 helper restore points.

This might cause older restore points to be purged if the recovery point limit is reached.

A

The backup server is a Windows-based physical or virtual machine on which Veeam Backup & Replication is installed. It is the core component in the backup infrastructure that fills the role of the “configuration and control center”. The backup server performs all types of administrative activities:

Coordinates backup, replication, recovery verification, and restore tasks
Controls job scheduling and resource allocation
Is used to set up and manage backup infrastructure components as well as specify global settings for the backup infrastructure
In addition to its primary functions, a newly deployed backup server also performs the role of the default backup repository, storing backups locally.

Subscription
Perpetual
Rental

173
Q

What is a VeeamZIP?

VeeamZIP is similar to a full VM backup. The VeeamZIP job always produces a full backup file (VBK) that acts as an independent restore point. You can store the backup file to a backup repository, to a local folder on the backup server or to a network share.

174
Q

What is quiescence?

A

When you back up or replicate a running VM, you need to quiesce or ‘freeze’ the VM to bring its file system and application data to a consistent state. Data quiescence is crucial for highly transactional applications. It helps create transactionally consistent backups or replicas and guarantees the safety of application data.

175
Q

Reverse Incremental backup chains

179
Q

What version of Veeam must be running before you can upgrade to version 10?

A

Version 9.5 Update 3 or later

180
Q

What is a Quick Backup?

A

Quick backup lets you perform on-demand incremental backup for VMs. You can use quick backup if you want to produce an additional restore point for one or more VMs in a backup job and do not want to configure a new job or modify the existing one.

181
Q

What are media pools?

A

logical containers created in Veeam Backup & Replication to organize and administer tapes.

182
Q

What are the 3 types of media pools?

A

a set of tapes used for continuously writing backup data. Media set is one of the parameters in media pool configuration. Always starts with a free tape.

184
Q

Backup Set?

A

The set of files that are archived to tape within one tape job session is a backup set.

185
Q

What are Vaults?

A

Vaults are logical containers that help you to additionally organize offline tapes. When the tapes are recorded and moved offsite, you need to have easy ways to manage data on such tapes. Visualize information about tapes.

186
Q

What levels can utilize data encryption?

A 
Backup job
Transaction log backup job
backup copy job
VeeamZIP
Tapes in media pools
187
Q

What is a backup copy?

A

With backup copy, you can create several instances of the same backup file and copy them to secondary (target) backup repositories for long-term storage. Target backup repositories can be located in the same site as the source backup repository or can be deployed offsite. The backup copy file has the same format as the primary backup, so you can restore necessary data directly from it in case of a disaster.

188
Q

Why is a Quick Rollback significant?

A

During failback with the quick rollback option enabled, Veeam Backup & Replication does not calculate digests for entire VM replica disks to get the difference between the original VM and VM replica. Instead, it queries CBT to get information about disk sectors that have changed, and calculates digests only for these disk sectors.

189
Q

When is it recommended that you use a quick rollback?

A

It is recommended that you use quick rollback if you failback to the original VM after a problem that has occurred at the level of the guest OS of the VM replica — for example, there has been an application error or a user has accidentally deleted a file on the VM replica guest OS. Do not use quick rollback if the problem has occurred at the VM hardware level, storage level or due to a power loss.

190
Q

Which transport mode can not use quick rollback?

A

The Direct SAN access transport mode cannot be used for quick rollback

191
Q

What are the 3 requirements for a quick rollback?

A

Must failback to the VM in the original location
CBT Must be enabled for the original VM
The VM replica must be created with the Use changed block tracking data option enabled.
