VMCE2020 Exam - Question 8


A backup job has been configured to keep three incremental restore points and a synthetic full backup each Sunday. More restore points are present on disk than what was configured in the job. Why?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AC

The old restore points will be deleted after the new restore chain meets the retention policy. This is because backup software such as Veeam typically retains more restore points than configured until a new restore chain is created and meets the specified retention policy. Once this occurs, the old restore points that fall outside of the retention policy will be deleted to ensure that only the configured number of restore points are kept.
