Hi Community -

We have yet another VMCE Practice Question from ​@Michael Funke . Thank you Michael!

For those new to the VMCE page, please hide your comment (guess). To do so → before typing your response, click the ellipsis (3 dots) icon on the far right of the format toolbar at the top in your comment box and select the Spoiler option. This will place a ‘hide comment’ text box in your comment box area. Click inside this hide comment text box and start typing your answer (guess). Be careful to not click outside of the box or your comment will show after saving. We want your comment to not show after clicking the Send button so others can take full advantage of these practice questions. Also, please no need to do a ‘quote’ comment of this question; I would like to keep these practice questions neat. Let me know if you have issues. Good luck on the question!

Veeam Agent for Linux v6 already has the veeamsnap kernel module, but in the new 6.3.2 version, Veeam added the blksnap module. What is the purpose of this kernel module?

  1. Allows Linux Agent jobs to create more than 28 snapshots
  2. The usage depends on the Linux package manager, like zypper, apt, yum or rpm
  3. The new name reflects new product development and does not have any feature interoperability
  4. It is required to support newer Linux kernels and versions

Below is the answer to this week’s VMCE practice question…

As with the previous couple, this question is just simply a matter of knowing what this backup component within VAL does. For simplicity this week, all options not correct (a., b., c.) are simply ‘distractor’ statements. Thus, option d. It is required to support newer Linux kernels and versions is the correct answer. For further info, see below KB, which is referenced in the also referenced Guide link:
