VMCE 2021 Exam - Question 20


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 Jan. 20. A file from a backup that occurred on Jan. 1 must be recovered. Where is the data?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: CD

Given the configuration of the Scale-out Backup Repository, the backup data is first stored in the performance tier. The settings specify that backups are moved to the capacity tier only after they age out of the operational restore window, set at 21 days. Since the date in question is January 20 and the backup was made on January 1, the backup is only 19 days old and thus has not yet reached the 21-day threshold to be moved to the capacity tier. As a result, the data from the January 1 backup must still be in the performance tier.

Backups that are 21 Days old are moved to “Capacity Tier”. Nothing will go to “Archive tier” because it is not set. The January 1 backup will still be stored in "Performance Tier" since it still does not have the necessary age to be moved to "Capacity Tier" C.

D. The capacity tier. In a Scale-out Backup Repository with one local extent, the data is stored in the capacity tier. The performance tier is used for temporarily storing backup data during backup or restore operations, and the archive tier is used for long-term data retention. Since the backup job retention is 31 days, the backup file from Jan. 1 is still within the retention period and would be stored in the capacity tier of the Scale-out Backup Repository. Therefore, the data can be recovered from the capacity tier.

Lol whose writing these 'correct answers'. There's no copy to object storage flag set and it starts at 21 days for the move operation we're within that window. So cap tier only.

At 20 days, the backup is still at capacity, only at 21 days will it be moved. Correct answer is D, The capacity tier
