VMCE 2021 Exam - Question 78


A Scale-out Backup Repository with one local extent has been configured as follows.

A daily VMware backup job retention is 31 days, keeping weekly GFS full backups for 14 weeks.

It is Mar. 20. A file from a backup that occurred the week of Jan. 1 must be recovered. Where is the data?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: BC

The data will be in the capacity tier. The backup configuration shows that backups older than 21 days are moved to the capacity tier. Since the date is March 20 and the backup to be recovered is from the week of January 1, it has been significantly more than 21 days since that backup was created. Therefore, the data would have been moved to the capacity tier based on the configuration settings.

B - Capacity Tier - is correct, as the date is 20 March and they want to restore from Jan 1st

Why not be? Capacity tier is enabled and backups older than 21 days, moved there.

The question states it's January 20, the file was created on Jan 1st. 20-1=19 days Data is only being moved to the Capacity Tier after 21 days. Data is on the Performance Tier....

Capacity tier. This one may be tricky than on first glance. There are 2 retention periods referenced in this question, dailies are set to 31 days whereas a weekly GFS full backup are kept for 14 weeks. Since the question is asking for a backup that occurred during the week of Jan 1st, not specifying a specific date, then in theory that weekly GFS (with a retention of 14 weeks) meets that criteria and would be stored on the performance tier, right? However, the settings for this SOBR are set to "move" backups older than 21 days - so with that in mind, it's been well over that amount of days (Jan 1st to Mar 20th), meaning the weekly GFS restore points from that month of Jan were moved to the capacity tier.

mistakenly written - "It is Mar. 20." If we correct it with Jan. 20, the B is answer.

C: Performance Tier. The copy option is not checked, so data will not be copied to the capacity tier.
