VMCE 2021 Exam - Question 73


A Scale-out Backup Repository with one local extent has been configured as follows.

12 VMware VMs are being backed up daily by a forward incremental backup job, which has a 31-day retention, creating synthetic fulls on Saturdays. After running for more than 31 days, which of the following would be accurate?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

After more than 31 days, the daily forward incremental backup job with a 31-day retention and synthetic fulls on Saturdays will retain backups in both the performance tier and the capacity tier as follows. The most recent backups (14 to 20 days) will remain in the performance tier while the older backups (17 to 23 days) will be moved to the capacity tier. This is indicated by the configuration settings which move backups older than 14 days to the capacity tier, preserving the recent backups on the performance tier for faster access and keeping the older ones for long-term retention.

Why not B, items are only being moved after their operational restore window, this refers to the retention does it not? The retention is set to 31 days making this B as the data will be available in both.
