Veeam VMCA2022 Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

The component that can help meet the requirement of alternative decryption capabilities on encrypted backups in the event of lost passwords is Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager. Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager is a web-based interface that allows centralized management of multiple Veeam backup servers. It also provides a password loss protection feature that enables authorized users to restore encrypted backups without entering passwords if they forget or lose them. This feature requires enabling password loss protection in Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager settings and assigning a security officer role to a user who can approve password recovery requests.

The best option for the primary backup repository design that fits the requirements in the case study is a Linux Repository using XFS integration, single-use credentials, and immutability. A Linux Repository is a type of backup repository that uses a Linux server as a backup target. A LinuxRepository can leverage XFS integration to enable fast creation and transformation of synthetic full backups by using XFS file system features such as reflink and copy-on-write. A Linux Repository can also use single-use credentials to enhance security by generating unique credentials for each backup job session. A Linux Repository can also provide immutability and ransomware protection for backup files by using Linux access control mechanisms such as immutable flag or chattr command.

The best option to still satisfy the requirement for offsite, immutable or air gapped backups if the cloud provider selected for archive storage does not support immutability is to set up Scale-out Backup Repository capacity tier to a different cloud provider than the archive tier. Scale-out Backup Repository is a logical entity that groups several backup repositories into a single pool of storage, and allows to move backup files between performance and capacity tiers1. The capacity tier can be configured to use Amazon S3 or Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, which support Object Lock feature for immutability2. By using a different cloud provider for the capacity tier than the archive tier, the backup data can be stored in two separate locations, with one copy being immutable or air gapped. The other options are either not feasible (option A, as the scenario does not mention another site), not secure (option C, as the backup data can still be accessed or modified when the repository is online), or not offsite (option D, as the scenario requires a copy of backup data in a public cloud). References: Scale-out Backup Repository, Object Storage Immutability.
