VMCE Practice Question - 23 July 2024

C.

C - For both Data Compression and Deduplication, the change is applied without requiring a new Full. All previous created backup files are not affected

100. For both Data Compression and Deduplication, the change is applied without requiring a new Full. All previous created backup files are not affected

Thanks for another round of interesting questions 👍

c:  For both Data Compression and Deduplication, the change is applied without requiring a new Full. All previous created backup files are not affected

A - Data Comprenssion requires a new full, Dedup don’t.

For me it’s C

100. No active full required.
     
     As a bonus though, if you change your storage optimization (eg: block size) you do need to perform an active full backup for the changes to take effect.

I had to think two times about the right answer, since i was first considering Data Block Size change (that requires a new full). On second thought, i would say C. a new Active Full is not required.

There’s no need to go through a full explanation for each possible option in the question. The long & short of it is both Data Deduplication and Compression do not require an Active Full to be run when either enabling or disabling. Changes to either take affect to subsequent restore points immediately. The only data configuration change requiring an Active Full is, as Tyler pointed out in his comment, Storage Optimization. Thus, the answer to the question is indeed c. For both Data Compression and Deduplication, the change is applied without requiring a new Full. All previous created backup files are not affected .

C, but I spent several minutes to understand it. really good one.
