Here is this week’s 2nd VMCE Practice Question. Please remember to hide your comments.

Also, be aware this will be the last practice question for a little while. I will begin posting again, but just need to take a break. Remember, this is a Community page though...others can post practice questions as well. Or ask questions about things to get clarification. In other words, engage! 😉

You are wanting to clean up your Backup Jobs in Veeam by consolidating Backup Jobs where possible. When you attempt to move Backups from one Backup Job to another, the task is not allowed to be performed by Veeam. What limitation might be preventing you from performing this task?

  1. To move backups from Job to Job, you need the Backup Operator role in addition to the Restore Operator role
  2. Your Repository is configured with the Per-VM setting
  3. Moving backups from Jobs with encryption enabled to Jobs without encryption enabled is not allowed
  4. Before a move operation, you must first detach your backups from the source Backup Job

    From the docs: “ You cannot move backups from encrypted jobs to unencrypted jobs and vice versa. “

As with the previous 2 questions, this is simply a matter of knowing the Requirements and Limitations of using the Veeam Move Backup feature. One limitation deals with encryption based moves. You can’t move unencrypted backups to an encrypted job or encrypted backups to an unencrypted job. As such, c. Moving backups from Jobs with encryption enabled to Jobs without encryption enabled is not allowed is the correct answer. Other options given are simply not listed as a Limitation in the User Guide.
