For general data protection regulation (GDPR) compliance, Veeam can add a location tag to which component?
Correct Answer:A
Veeam Backup & Replication offers the capability to assign location tags to different components within the backup infrastructure, including vCenter servers. This feature is particularly useful for GDPR compliance, as it allows administrators to specify the physical location of the data processed and stored within vCenter servers, helping to ensure that data sovereignty and regulatory requirements are met.References:

An engineer has a NAS file share to protect.
What preliminary step must be taken to create a NAS backup job?
Correct Answer:D
Before creating a NAS backup job, an engineer must add the NAS file share to the Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) console under the Inventory section. This involves specifying the NAS Filer and the particular file share to be protected. This step
allows Veeam to recognize the file share as a valid source for backup operations.

A Scale-out Backup Repository with one local extent has been configured as follows.
A daily VMware backup job retention is 31 days, keeping weekly GFS full backups for 14 weeks.
It is Mar, 20. A file from a backup that occurred the week of Jan, 1 must be recovered. Where is the data?
Correct Answer:C
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.

A physical Linux server protected by a centrally managed Veeam agent is physically damaged. A VMware vSphere infrastructure is available, and the physical server is eligible for virtualization. Which recovery step provides the lowest possible RTO?
Correct Answer:A
Instant VM Recovery to VMware offers the lowest possible RTO for restoring a physically damaged Linux server to a VMware vSphere infrastructure. This feature rapidly restores service by running the server directly from the backup file in a VMware environment.References: Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, Veeam Agent for Linux Guide
