A daily backup job for seven Hyper-V 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 also need to be able to restore the VMs to any given day within two months and any given week within the six months. How should a backup copy job be configured to meet these requirements?
To meet the requirements of restoring VMs to any given day within two months and any given week within the six months, the backup copy job should be configured to use immediate copy (mirroring) mode, keeping 62 days of retention and 26 weekly GFS restore points. This configuration allows daily backups for the first two months (62 days) and weekly backups for six months (26 weeks), ensuring the ability to restore to any specific day within the first two months and any specific week within six months.
any given week within the six months will require 26 weekly gfs restore points
Correct is C: any given week...
because the A it's not ok?
"c" is the correct answer, keeping 180 days of retention
Periodic Copy jobs became legacy in V12. https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/backup_copy_modes.html?ver=120 NOTE Periodic backup copy jobs created in Veeam Backup & Replication 11 or earlier became legacy periodic backup copy jobs in Veeam Backup & Replication 12. Legacy periodic backup copy jobs are fully operational, but you can only edit them and cannot create new ones. You can upgrade backup files of a legacy periodic backup copy job to the per-machine backup files using mapping. For more information, see Upgrading Backup Chain Formats.
