VMCE Practice Question - 16 July 2024

1. The Veeam Server is waiting on other VMs in the Job to finish processing

1. The Veeam Server is waiting on other VMs in the Job to finish processing

I would say b. CBT disabled for proxy VMs

I had to read the question multiple times before understanding why it’s A. Usually do we have to backup proxies ? I don’t think so. But in this case it is a small company, so their proxy is also a small application which need to be backed up. The proxy always process the other VM first ? 

c . The Repository this VM is being backed up to is a bottleneck

tricky question imo, a good one@coolsport00  :)
Could be A - because if it’s the only proxy, this VM would be processed at last step.
But, i would go for B - because the question asks, why this VM would take longer. And as this VM serves as a proxy (then with hodadd) CBT is disabled. So my answer is B - Since the VM is also used in Veeam as a Virtual Appliance Proxy VM, CBT is disabled

When Veeam performs backup processes, Parallel Processing is used...and yes, even for VMs used as Proxies, so this leaves a. ..waiting on other VMs… as not the correct answer. C. cannot be the answer, because Repo bottleneck would mostly affect all VMs in the Job equally, so that’s not it. D. is not correct because this task performed on the virtual infrastructure has no bearing on Veeam Backups. The answer, therefore, is indeed b. Since the VM is also used in Veeam as a Virtual Appliance Proxy VM, CBT is disabled .

I would say B, but it was so dificult to me.
