Below is this week’s 2nd VMCE practice question. Please rememeber to hide your comments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You're pretty sure a Backup Job forgot to create a Restore Point of a particular VM you mistakingly removed then re-added. To make sure your backups for the Job are clean, you attempt to perform disk/clean-up maintenance task in the Disk section > Job Properties area for this VM by removing its configuration data and files from disk, but the Remove option is greyed out. What might be causing this behavior?
The Restore Points you're wanting to remove are valid
There is no Remove option available in the Veeam Console
The Disk > Job's Properties is not the location of the Forget option
Only the Security Administrator role has the Remove permission

I’m not quite sure about this one...I’d go with c!
There is no “Forget” option in the Backups → Disk section. There is a “Remove from Configuration” for the entire job, but that’s not applicable here.
Although I wouldn’t tackle this issue this way at all. I’d add the VM back to the job and map the backup to be sure. Not sure why anyone would want to “clean up” the restore points or mess with the chain in any way. If you need to ensure you have a restore point, run the job or at worst run an active full. Perhaps I’m missing the premise of the question though.
The Disk > Job's Properties is not the location of the Forget option
remove or forget should be only visible/available for Restore Points who are missing on the Repository (Disk > Jobname > Properties). Kinda tricky question So i would assume your Restore Points are valid and in place? Then i would go with A.
I would say A. The Restore Points you're wanting to remove are valid, as stated in the documentation:
The Forget and Remove from disk options are available only for restore points that are missing from the backup chain or that depend on missing ones.
A very tricky question, but I get that its making us all have a good think.
However the answers so far are incorrect from the research I have done so far. There is no ‘Forget’ Option ANYWHERE that I have found. Also the ability to remove restore points isn’t a thing either. I am in my production VBR console looking for these options and they don’t exist !
So what really is the answer you were looking for @coolsport00 ?
The answer to this week’s last question is below…
First, let me say this question is probably not worded the best. I’ll share more why after my explanation. Let me save you all the anticipation and just say options b., c., and d. are not correct. There is indeed a Remove option available, and it is indeed in the Job Properties area. The role mentioned in d. can’t perform this operation, so that option is also incorrect. This leaves a. The Restore Points you're wanting to remove are valid, as the correct answer. See more info below.
Why do I say the question should be worded differently? Because the Remove option I don’t think would be greyed out, but rather wouldn’t even show for valid restore points. There are in fact 2 options you can choose - forget and remove. The only time either one would show is if you select a VM at the top in the Properties window, then select an invalid restore point in the bottom window and rt-click the RP. You would then see either option.
So i would assume your Restore Points are valid and in place? Then i would go with A.
