A Scale-out Backup Repository with one local extent has been configured as follows.
12 VMware VMs are being backed up daily by a forward incremental backup job, which has a 31-day retention, creating synthetic fulls on Saturdays. After running for more than 31 days, which of the following would be accurate?
The performance tier will contain the most recent 15 to 22 days of restore points, and the capacity tier will contain the oldest 14 days of restore points. This is because the configuration setting specifies that backups older than 14 days will be moved to the capacity tier, preserving the ability to restore directly from these offloaded backups. Given a 31-day retention period, the performance tier will, therefore, store the most recent backups while older ones are offloaded to the capacity tier.
Based on the configuration and retention settings provided, the correct answer is: C The performance tier will contain the most recent 15 to 22 days of restore points. The capacity tier will contain the oldest 14 days of restore points. Since the backup job has a retention of 31 days, the performance tier will store the most recent 15 to 22 days of restore points, while the capacity tier will contain the oldest 14 days of restore points. This is because the backup files older than 14 days are moved to the object storage as per the capacity tier settings. Therefore, only the recent restore points are stored in the performance tier, while the older restore points are offloaded to the capacity tier.
Eliminate all wrong answers: A. (wrong) the capacity tier will not contain the most recent 14 restore points B. (wrong) after 14 days the capacity tier will contain restore points D. (wrong) the capacity tier will not contain the most recent 14 restore points C. (correct) Syntethic fulls will remain in the performance tier as long as they are needed to restore the most recent 14 points.
Anyone else care to weigh in? Struggling with this 1.
It's C. The capacity tier will not contain all restore points, but only the older that will be moved.
D is correct
