2nd practice question this wk is below. Please remember to hide your comments. Good luck!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You're interested in viewing a specific VM's change rate to help in sizing a new Veeam Repository for the Backup Job the VM is in. You don't have VeeamONE and want a quick visual way to view this information. Where in the Veeam Console can you view VM change rate data?

  1. Backup Infrastructure view
  2. Disk > Backup Properties View
  3. History > Backup Jobs Statistics
  4. The information is not viewable in the Veeam Console
  1. The information is not viewable in the Veeam Console

 


  • d. The information is not viewable in the Veeam Console

 


answer: D

 

But this could be a nice feature request! :-P

 


d- The information is not viewable in the Veeam Console

 


D

 


And the answer for this week’s second question is below…

Ok all...confession. This is bit of a trick question. Let me just start off saying d. The information is not viewable in the Veeam Console is not the correct solution 😊 So let’s start there. Since the information can be viewed in the Console, then where the heck is it? 🤔 Let’s go through the choices → option “a” is simply incomplete. Giving a node/view without further direction where to find it isn’t the correct choice. Besides, the information isn’t in this node. The information isn’t shown when “Viewing a Job’s statistics”, so ‘c’ is also not correct; leaving the last available option b. Disk > Backup Properties View (which is in the Home node, btw) as the correct choice. How does this show the change rate? Well, here’s where this question is a trick one - when selecting a given workload (VM) in the upper left, the Backup Size column in the bottom window is actually the change rate for the VM during a given backup job run.

Some of you may have seen a post I created a couple mos ago asking for this info without the use of VONE, as I was troubelshooting a storage space issue. I came across this data/info & contacted Veeam Support and they confirmed this indeed was a workload’s change rate.
