Selected Answer: A

The correct answer is A. Use periodic copy (pruning) mode, keeping 62 days of retention and six monthly GFS restore points. B. Immediate Copy (Mirroring) Mode → Does not support GFS retention, so it cannot guarantee 6-month retention. C. Periodic Copy with 180 days retention → Lacks GFS points, making it inefficient for long-term storage (would keep every daily backup for 6 months, consuming excessive space). D. Immediate Copy with GFS → Immediate mode doesn’t support GFS, and weekly points are unnecessary for the given requirements.

Selected Answer: D

Periodic Copy jobs became legacy in V12. https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/backup_copy_modes.html?ver=120 NOTE Periodic backup copy jobs created in Veeam Backup & Replication 11 or earlier became legacy periodic backup copy jobs in Veeam Backup & Replication 12. Legacy periodic backup copy jobs are fully operational, but you can only edit them and cannot create new ones. You can upgrade backup files of a legacy periodic backup copy job to the per-machine backup files using mapping. For more information, see Upgrading Backup Chain Formats.
