Question 57

An hourly backup job for seven VMware VMs has been configured at the main site, keeping 14 days' worth of backup files. They want to get a copy of the VM backups to a repository at the disaster recovery site. They want to keep six months' worth of backup files at the disaster recovery site. They need to be able to restore the VMs to any given day within two months at disaster recovery, and any given week within the six months, minimizing the storage used at disaster recovery.

How should a backup copy job be configured to meet these requirements?

    Correct Answer: B

    To meet the requirements, the backup copy job should be configured to use periodic copy (pruning) mode with 62 days of retention and 26 weekly GFS restore points. This configuration ensures that the VM backups can be restored to any given day within two months (62 days), and to any given week within six months (26 weeks). Using periodic copy mode minimizes storage usage at the disaster recovery site by copying only the latest backups periodically, rather than every hourly backup.

Discussion
BUSYMOUSEOption: B

I guess it should be B They need to be able to restore the VMs to any given day -> not every hour minimizing the storage used at disaster recovery -> if they copy in immediate copy they copy every hourly backup, in periodic (once a day) it copies latest backup
