Veeam VMCA2022 Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

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.

Backup from storage snapshot is a feature of Veeam Backup & Replication that leverages the native snapshot capabilities of the storage system to create a consistent point-in-time copy of the VM data. Veeam Backup & Replication then reads data directly from the storage snapshot, bypassing the ESXi host and reducing the impact on the production environment1. Backup from storage snapshot is supported for VSAN datastores on NetApp, Nimble, Dell EMC, HPE, and Pure Storage systems2.

Using backup from storage snapshot for the virtualized stock trading application servers can improve the backup performance and reduce the latency, as it minimizes the time that the VM is running on a snapshot and avoids the network overhead of other transport modes3.

The other options are not recommended because:

• B) Implementing Veeam Agent on the virtualized stock trading application servers is not necessary, as Veeam Backup & Replication can protect VMware VMs without agents. Veeam Agent is mainly used for physical servers, workstations, or cloud instances4.
• C) Using Veeam Replication to create replicas of the virtualized stock trading application servers at the remote site, then back up the replicas is not optimal, as it adds more complexity and cost to the backup process. Veeam Replication is mainly used for disaster recovery purposes, not for backup5.
• D) Turning off application-aware processing for the virtualized stock trading application servers is not advisable, as it may compromise the consistency and recoverability of the application data. Application-aware processing is a feature of Veeam Backup & Replication that ensures that the application data is in a consistent state before the backup or replication job starts.

To design a solution that meets the needs and requirements of Veeam University Hospital, you need to gather some information during the discovery phase. This information will help you to understand the current state of the environment, the goals and expectations of the stakeholders, and the constraints and challenges of the project.

According to the Veeam Backup & Replication Best Practice Guide1, some of the information that is necessary for designing a solution and must be gathered during discovery are:

•Operating systems used to run the workloads. This information will help you to determine the compatibility and supportability of the workloads with Veeam products and features, as well as the licensing and configuration requirements.

•Allowed backup windows. This information will help you to plan and schedule the backup jobs according to the availability and performance of the workloads, as well as the service level agreements (SLAs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs) of the organization.

•Amount of used disk space. This information will help you to estimate the backup storage requirements, as well as the backup compression and deduplication ratios, based on the type and size of the data.
