Exam VMCE v12 topic 1 question 5 discussion

Correct Answer is C base on VEEAM Documentation: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/archive_tier.html?ver=120 Archive tier is an additional tier of storage that can be attached to a scale-out backup repository. You can transport data to the archive tier for archive storage from the following extents: From performance extents that consist of Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure or S3 compatible with data archiving object storage repositories. From capacity extents. ************************* It is not required to have a capacity tier before using archive tier

C. Add an Archive Tier with the appropriate S3 bucket 🔹 Explanation: In Veeam, S3 is not used as a Performance Tier, but rather as a Capacity Tier. The Performance Tier must be local or cloud storage with fast access (such as a NAS or local disk).

You don't require a capacity tier to move from performance to archive

C is what an VEEAM engineer needs to do. A is what a Cloud Engineer has to do

answer c is correct

S3 is already in place as perf tier. No capacity tier required to push to archive tier.

Is B, expaantion; In Veeam Backup & Replication, to utilize AWS S3 Glacier for long-term storage, the AWS S3 must first be added as a Capacity Tier within the Scale-Out Backup Repository (SOBR). This step is necessary before backups can be moved to Glacier. Once S3 is established as the Capacity Tier, the policies for moving backups to Glacier can be configured based on the retention requirements (in this case, after 90 days). This approach ensures that the monthly full backups are initially stored in S3 and then offloaded to Glacier for cost-effective long-term retention. Reference: Veeam Documentation: Scale-Out Backup Repository Veeam Help Center: AWS S3 as Capacity Tier and Archive Tier Configuration

Keep monthly full backups for: 12 months and move to Glacier after 90 days Archive Tier can do it

AWS S3 should be the first added as a capacity level within the Scalable Backup Repository (SOBR). This step is required before backups can be moved to Glacier.

This is correct - tested in lab. You are able to enable archive tier without capacity tier when using S3 in the performance tier.

Glacier is an archive storage. You can not configure an SOR with Performance and Archive tier only. So you first need Capacity tier to use archive tier in the next step. So IMO the Answer is B

Options A, B, and D are not the first steps necessary for achieving this goal: Option A: Creating a Vault in S3 Glacier is not directly managed from Veeam. Veeam interacts with Glacier through the Archive Tier in the SOBR. Option B: Adding AWS S3 as a Capacity Tier is a prerequisite but not the first action needed if the Capacity Tier is already set. You need the Archive Tier to facilitate moving data to Glacier. Option D: Reconfiguring the SOBR to use block storage as the Performance Tier is not relevant to the requirement of moving data to Glacier. Therefore, the correct initial step is: C. Add an Archive Tier with the appropriate Bucket from S3.

archive tier can be configured without need for capacity tier, so answer is C

Base on documentation C is correct

Definitivamente, C es la correcta. https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/archive_tier.html?ver=120

going for C

Capacity Tier is needed before you can enable Archive Tier
