Question #81
During the deployment, Veeam University Hospital management has asked that the backup window be shortened to eight hours.
What is a possible ramification of this change?
- A . The size of the Veeam Backup & Replication database will increase.
- B . The CPU and memory requirements of the proxies will be increased.
- C . The amount of storage required in the repositories will be increased.
- D . The CPU and memory requirements of the mount server(s) will be increased.
Correct Answer: B
B
Explanation:
According to the Veeam Backup & Replication Best Practice Guide1, one of the possible ramifications of shortening the backup window to eight hours is that the CPU and memory requirements of the proxies will be increased.
This is because:
• The proxies are responsible for retrieving data from the source and sending it to the target. They perform data compression, deduplication, encryption, and other tasks that consume CPU and memory resources.
• To shorten the backup window, the proxies need to process more data in less time, which means they need more CPU cores and memory to handle concurrent tasks and avoid bottlenecks.
• The backup window can also be affected by other factors, such as the network bandwidth, the storage throughput, the backup methods, and the backup settings. Therefore, it is important to consider all these aspects when designing a backup solution.

Question #87
Immutability of the offsite backups is a constraint on this project.
Which of the following requirements does this impact?
- A . Backups must be verified and scanned for malware before restoring.
- B . All data must be retained for three years.
- C . Backup must be storage in logical, scalable storage systems on site.
- D . Backup must take advantage of public cloud storage for long-term retention.
Correct Answer: D
D
Explanation:
To design a solution that meets the immutability requirement for Veeam University Hospital, you need to consider how this constraint affects the other requirements and expectations of the customer. This will help you to avoid any conflicts or inconsistencies that may arise from applying immutability settings to the backup data.
According to the Veeam Backup & Replication Best Practice Guide, immutability is a feature that prevents backup files from being deleted or modified by anyone until the specified retention periodexpires. Immutability can be achieved by using S3 Object Lock or Hardened Repository, which are two different solutions that Veeam Backup & Replication supports.
Based on this definition, the requirement that is impacted by the immutability constraint is D. Backup must take advantage of public cloud storage for long-term retention.
This requirement is impacted by the immutability constraint because:
• Public cloud storage is a type of storage that is provided by a third-party service provider over the internet, such as Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, etc.
• Public cloud storage can be used for long-term retention, which is a policy that defines how long backup data should be kept for compliance or historical purposes, such as months, years, or decades.
• Public cloud storage can also support immutability, which is a feature that prevents backup data from being deleted or modified by anyone until the specified retention period expires, such as days, weeks, or months.
• However, not all public cloud storage providers or services support immutability, or support it in the same way. For example, Amazon S3 supports S3 Object Lock, which allows you to apply a legal hold or a retention period to individual objects or object versions. Microsoft Azure supports Immutable Blob Storage, which allows you to create time-based policies or legal holds for blob containers. Google Cloud supports Bucket Lock, which allows you to lock a bucket and prevent objects from being overwritten or deleted.
• Therefore, the choice of the public cloud storage provider or service may affect the immutability setting and requirement for the backup data. You need to verify and compare the compatibility and supportability of the public cloud storage providers or services with Veeam Backup & Replication and with the customer expectation.
