First question for this week is below. Please remember to hide your comments. Good luck!

When using Guest Processing within a Backup Job for Linux VMs, Veeam uses guest credentials supplied in the Job. If the Transport Service connection between the Veeam Server and VM fails, Veeam tries to use SSH connection with credentials provided in the Job. If this fails, what final connection option does Veeam use for guest processing?

  1. VMware Tools
  2. Networkless guest processing over VIX API/vSphere Web Services
  3. Microsoft VSS
  4. None; the job will fail

          B. Networkless guest processing over VIX API/vSphere Web Services

           

          Veeam offers a feature called Networkless Guest Processing which allows for backup and replication of VMs without requiring network connectivity to the guest OS. This is particularly useful in environments where network access is restricted for security reasons.

           

          For networkless guest processing, Veeam uses VIX (VMware VIX API) to communicate with the guest OS. This method allows Veeam to perform tasks such as application-aware processing and file indexing without needing direct network access

                  Ok Community, time for this week’s VMCE practice question answers. See below…

                  This is another ‘static’ question. All options listed are explicitly right or wrong. No grey area. The correct answer is b. Networkless guest processing over VIX API/vSphere Web Services as all other options are not “connection protocols” Veeam uses for GIP, and obviously d. is incorrect because it is possible for this connection to occur.

                   

                  For more info, see:
