VEEAM Exam VMCA2022 Topic 5 Question 1 Discussion

Actual exam question for VEEAM's VMCA2022 exam
Question #: 1
Topic #: 5
[All VMCA2022 Questions]

Going through the discovery data, you examine the requirement for one-hour backups of gold tier virtual machines. Some of these servers have been identified as having large VMDKs with large bursts of I/O. Which

requirement would you be breaking if you separated these virtual machines into their own backup jobs?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

If you separated the large VMDKs into their own backup jobs, you would be creating more manual work for the backup administrator, who would have to configure and maintain multiple jobs for the same group of VMs. This would go against the requirement of reducing administrative overhead by using dynamic scoping.

Dynamic scoping is a feature of Veeam Backup & Replication that allows you to automatically include or exclude VMs from backup jobs based on tags, attributes, or policies1. For example, you can use VMware tags to assign a backup policy to a VM, and then use the tag as a filter in the backup job. This way, any VM with that tag will be automatically added to the backup job, and any VM without that tag will be automatically excluded. This simplifies the backup management and ensures that all VMs are protected according to their assigned policy.

For large VMDKs with high I/O, you can use alternative backup methods to avoid performance impact and stuns, such as storage snapshots, direct SAN access, or hot-add2.You can also use different storage optimization options to balance the deduplication ratio and the backup file size3. These options can be configured within the same backup job, without the need to separate the large VMDKs.

You can find more information about dynamic scoping and backup methods for large VMDKs in the following resources:

D looks good to me. These VMs need special treatment since they're prone to backup-related stuns.

I'd say C is the right answer. The backup process mustn't impact mission-critical apps, and separating these VMs could do just that.

Going for option B. The one-hour RPO for gold tier VMs is critical, so separating them into their own jobs could violate that requirement.

We can't risk violating that requirement. Option B is the way to go.

Option B is the best choice. We need to maintain the one-hour RPO for gold tier VMs.

That's true. We need to find a way to balance the requirements without compromising the mission-critical applications.

But wouldn't it also affect the recovery time objective of 30 minutes for gold tier machines?

I think separating the virtual machines into their own backup jobs would break the requirement for one-hour backups.
