VMCE v12 Exam - Question 3

Question

A business has the following new regulatory requirements to follow:

3-2-1

Prevent the most recent 31 days of any backup files from being deleted or modified

Keep 1 copy of a monthly restore point around for 2 years

They have the following setup:

A standalone repository on a NAS

A backup job keeping 31 days of restore points

A backup copy job to an Amazon S3 Repository, keeping 31 days of backups and 24 monthly GFS restore points

Which two actions should the engineer take to change the environment to meet the new requirements? (Choose two.)

Examice · Accepted Answer

To meet the new regulatory requirements, the engineer should move the backups from the NAS to a Linux Hardened Repository and enable immutability in Amazon S3. This ensures that the most recent 31 days of backup files cannot be deleted or modified, as immutability is supported in both a Linux Hardened Repository and Amazon S3. The requirement to keep one copy of a monthly restore point for 2 years is already covered by their existing setup with Amazon S3.

We don’t know if the NAS is compatible with immutability so DE?

Veeam does not support immutability on a NAS. There are only 2 ways to enable immutable backups.  1 - Setup a Linux Hardened Repository. 2 - Use AWS/Azure Cloud storage with immutability enabled.

A: While some NAS support WORM, Veeam doesn't support it so this is false
B: Otherwise you wont have GFS point to copy/move to other locations. TRUE
C: We cannot use the NAS, see A. FALSE
D: We cannot use the NAS for immutable, but we can use a hardened linux repo as this support veeam immutable. TRUE
E: the requirement of immutable is the first 31 days, not the GFS points. FALSE

Hence the solution should be B & D

DE
is that correct?

maxustermann · Answer

Immutability is needed, so D + E is the only option

carbs0704 · Answer

Here me out...

"Prevent the most recent 31 days of ANY<< backup files from being deleted or modified"

Considering "ANY" and the key word here... you'd need to move them from a NAS to a Linux Hardened Repository, and enable Immutability on S3.

A - Not possible
B - Already have GFS with backup copy job
C - Already has a backup copy job sending backup to S3. No need for SOBR.
D - Meets the "ANY BACKUP FILES" requirement
E - Meets the "ANY BACKUP FILES" requirement.

Which two actions should the engineer take to change the environment to meet the new requirements? (Choose two.)
•	A. Enable Immutability on the NAS  we are not sure if its supported because we don’t know the NAS Model
•	B. Add 24 monthly GFS restore points to the backup job this is done
•	C. Configure a Scale-Out Backup Repository with NAS and Amazon S3  this is done 
•	D. Move the backups from the NAS to a Linux Hardened Repository ???
•	E. Enable immutability in Amazon S3

striezi · Answer

Requirement is to prevent "any" backup file from being modified - so you have to Enable Immutability on both.
