Good Tuesday to you all in the Community! I’m back! (for now 😂 ) Let’s begin with this week’s practice question. Please remember to hide your comments so others can benefit from the question as well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When reviewing storage space which houses your virtual workloads in your Hyper-V infrastructure, you notice two virtual machines with retained Veeam snapshots. What feature does Veeam have to automatically remove these "phantom" snapshots on next Backup Job run?

  1. VeeaMover
  2. Veeam AI Assistant
  3. Veeam doesn't have any feature to remove these snapshots. You need to manually create a snapshot and consolidate them within Hyper-V
  4. The Snapshot Hunter feature
  1. Veeam doesn't have any feature to remove these snapshots. You need to manually create a snapshot and consolidate them within Hyper-V

The Snapshot Hunter is a VMware-only feature.

 

  1. The Snapshot Hunter feature

glad that you are back again 👍

Edit: ahhh, my bad.. Snapshot hunter is only available for VMware

C - would be great to bring the feature to Hyper-V.

C: Veeam does not have a feature like Snapshot hunter for Hyper-V like it does with VMware

 

  1. Veeam doesn't have any feature to remove these snapshots. You need to manually create a snapshot and consolidate them within Hyper-V

 

Alright folks...let’s share the answer. See below:

All potential answers are distractors. All are features of Veeam, but do they provide the function the question is asking for? Well, only 1 option does, and that is d. Snapshot Hunter feature. Problem is, the Snapshot Hunter is only supported for VMware. Thus, the answer is c. Veeam doesn't have any feature to remove these snapshots. You need to manually create a snapshot and consolidate them within Hyper-V .
