VMCE 2021 Exam - Question 38


At 18:00, after a Windows update installation, a VM is stuck in an infinite boot loop. The VM is configured as follows.

The last backup was created at 01:00. Choose the recovery approach that provides the lowest RTO with the least data loss.

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AC

The problem is due to a Windows update, which caused the VM to be stuck in an infinite boot loop. The most efficient approach is to recover just the operating system disk using quick rollback to minimize downtime and data loss. VM disk recovery with quick rollback of Disk 1 (the OS disk) achieves this by restoring only the essential part affected by the update, thus providing the lowest Recovery Time Objective (RTO) with the least data loss.

D is correct. Do not use quick rollback if the problem has occurred at the VM hardware level, storage level or due to a power loss. https://helpcenter.veeam.com/archive/backup/110/vsphere/incremental_restore.html

The issue is with the OS due to a Windows Update, so none of the caveats apply. Answer would be C then.

Yeah, I just understood why gaes answered that. He didnt read entirely the question, there is a similar question with the same options, but stating that there was a power outage

It is not necessary to recover all disks, just the operating system.
