VMCE Practice Question - 3 July 2024

My answer is B 30 June

We started policy on 1 March first GFS copy will be at 31 March, next will be at 30 april and third will be at 31 May. at 30 June there will be next copy so flag from 31 March copy will be remove

should be b = 30 June

b - 30 June

Hi!!! I think b- 30 is the correct option!

So, to have long-term retention, we configured GFS. And for this question, we’re only concerned about the monthly’s. This means from the 1st (which is indeed when we start this) until the end of the month, which for the month we start (March), the end is the 31st. Ok, so far so good. Now onto our settings → we configured monthly’s for 3 months. At the end of 3 months, Veeam removes the GFS Flag from the 1st montly. The end of the 1st monthly is 31 March. Veeam will then remove the 1st monthly Flag on 31 June. But wait! There is no 31 June. How does Veeam handle this scenario?? 🤔 When there is no date such as we encounter here, Veeam modifies its formula a bit by simply adding 1 (+1 day) to it. As such, the actual GFS Flag removal date will be 1 July. And thus the answer to this question is a. 1 July .

Here’s a bonus question: When will Veeam delete the actual GFS Restore Point file? (I’ll provide answer at end of day today)
