  1. The Veeam Installer Service must be installed on the guest VM

Since the persistent agent can be installed on both Windows and Linux, C & D don’t make sense. This kind of feature is generally not locked behind a license restriction, so A is unlikely.
From the docs: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/persistent_agent_components.html?ver=120

 

Prerequisites

To use persistent agent components, you must ensure the Veeam Installer Service is installed on the guest VM. For more information, see Veeam Installer Service.

So let’s get to this week’s answers for the questions…

Show content

This is a simple question of knowing the requirements and limitations for the Persistent Agent. The Agent can be used on Linux, so c. isn’t correct; also, there is no limitation for any specific Veeam Edition, so a. is also incorrect. And d. is simply a bogus answer, leaving b. The Veeam Installer Service must be installed on the guest VM as the correct one.
