Question 51

A 3-node Microsoft SQL Always On cluster is running in a VMware environment.

The RPOs are:

• 1 day for the cluster nodes

• 15 minutes for the log files

How should the cluster be backed up?

    Correct Answer: A

    The requirement is to have a backup with a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of 1 day for the cluster nodes and 15 minutes for the transaction logs. Using Veeam Backup and Replication with a VMware backup job that includes the 3 nodes of the cluster and leverages Application-Aware Processing to back up the transaction logs every 15 minutes will meet these requirements. This approach ensures that both the nodes and the transaction logs are backed up appropriately, aligning with the specified RPOs.

Discussion
Linkin27Option: A

The question is : A 3-node Microsoft SQL Always On cluster is running in a "VMware environment." Because the "vmware environnement" word, we can deduct than the nodes are VM, so the only solution for me it's A.
