Exam VMCE v12 topic 1 question 28 discussion

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/cn/docs/backup/vsphere/file_share_backup_job_secondary_target.html?ver=110

The answer is B. File share copy job is about one-time copy operation. If you want to copy backups on a schedule, configure a secondary repository as described in the Creating File Backup Jobs and Creating Object Storage Backup Jobs sections.

Hi, Since I wasn’t completely sure, I consulted ChatGPT for some clarification. The information I received indicated that answer C was correct. Afterwards, I reviewed Veeam's documentation and noticed an important line: "Note that to copy file share backups, you need to configure a file backup job, not the backup copy job." I reported this to ChatGPT, and the interpretation given was that this note does not refer to a separate "file share copy job" like with VM Backup Copy Jobs, but rather highlights that file share backups in Veeam are not copied in exactly the same way as VM backups. Their conclusion is that answer C remains correct.

Since the backup administrator wants to implement a similar backup strategy for unstructured data (such as files on shares) and maintain an additional 10 days of retention at an alternate site, the File share copy job is the right choice.

Backup copy is a job-driven process. To copy backups, you need to configure backup copy jobs. The backup copy job defines when, what, how and where to copy. For more information on how to create backup copy jobs, see Creating Backup Copy Jobs for VMs and Physical Machines. Note that to copy file share backups, you need to configure a file backup job, not the backup copy job.

copy its VM and Agent backups to the alternate site 10 additional days of retention for unstructured data backups B. File share backup job

The issue with B is that this option is used for the initial backup of file shares but does not specifically address the need to copy these backups to an alternate site or manage additional retention, which is required in the question

Fileshares and objectstorage are unstructured backups, Unstructured backups dont have a copy job possibility. So its B

no comment

Copy for unstructured data backup, this said we already have a backup job for the file share. Thats why its C https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/unstructured_data_backup_copy_backups.html?ver=120

Its B https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/file_share_backup_job_secondary_target.html?ver=120

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/unstructured_data_backup_copy_backups.html?ver=120

click secondary target - Advanced on backup job and set to custom retention so B is the answer

For additional restore points, backup copy is required
