Veeam Backup & Replication is currently configured to keep backups for 14 days on a NAS repository. An engineer needs to enable GFS with 12 monthly and 5 yearly full backups to extend the retention for archival purposes but does not have enough space on the repository to store them.
After adding the repository to Scale-Out-Backup Repository (SOBR) as Performance Tier, which option should the engineer choose to solve this issue?
The engineer should add an Object Storage as the Capacity tier and set the policy to move backups older than 14 days. This will free up space on the primary NAS repository by moving older backups to the Capacity tier, which is more suited for longer-term storage. Since the engineer needs to retain backups for 12 monthly and 5 yearly intervals, moving older backups to an Object Storage as the Capacity tier is the most efficient and cost-effective method to meet this requirement without running out of space.
For archive extents you must use the same object storage provider, that you use for the tier (either the performance tier, or the capacity tier) from which data moves to the archive tier.
D - you can’t specify to offload GFS files, the two options are “immediate” (not relevant in this scenario) or offload outside of your operational restore window.
correct answer is D
C makes sens

Its D for sure
