A business has the following new regulatory requirements to follow:
3-2-1
Prevent the most recent 31 days of any backup files from being deleted or modified
Keep 1 copy of a monthly restore point around for 2 years
They have the following setup:
A standalone repository on a NAS
A backup job keeping 31 days of restore points
A backup copy job to an Amazon S3 Repository, keeping 31 days of backups and 24 monthly GFS restore points
Which two actions should the engineer take to change the environment to meet the new requirements? (Choose two.)
To meet the new regulatory requirements, enabling immutability on both the NAS and Amazon S3 is essential. Immutability prevents backup files from being deleted or modified, aligning with the requirement to protect the most recent 31 days of backup files. By enabling this feature on the NAS and Amazon S3, the business ensures that both local and offsite copies of their data are secure and compliant with the regulation. The other options do not directly address the new requirements of preventing deletion or modification of backup files. Reference:

Backup jobs are configured to local repositories. Backups must be sent from Site B to the repository on Site
In a scenario where backups need to be sent from Site B to a repository at Site A and the direct backup cannot complete within the backup window due to connection limitations, a Backup Copy Job is the most suitable type of job. The Backup Copy Job can transfer data efficiently and with reduced impact on the production environment. The components involved would be:
6 (Repository at Site B): Where the initial backups are stored.
4 (WAN Accelerator at Site A): To optimize the data transfer over the WAN.
3 (WAN Accelerator at Site B): To prepare the backup data for transfer.
2 (Repository at Site A): The target repository for the backup copies. This configuration leverages the WAN Accelerators to reduce the amount of data that needs to travel over the WAN, thus allowing the backup copy job to complete within the available window.
Veeam ONE has been installed and configured. The infrastructure contains five Veeam Backup & Replication servers. The administrator needs to check the remaining capacity on each of the backup repository servers. Where can they see this information?
In Veeam ONE, the remaining capacity of each backup repository server can be viewed under the Data Protection View. This section provides detailed information about the storage utilization and remaining capacity of backup repositories, allowing administrators to effectively monitor and manage storage resources.

Veeam Backup and Replication is currently configured with backup jobs that are targeting a local Backup Repository on a Windows Server.
The backups are now configured to run periodically every 6 hours. The engineer wants to create a secondary copy of the backups. However, due to bandwidth and compute restrictions, the copies must be created and transferred only once a day.
Which option should the engineer choose to achieve this goal?
To achieve the goal of creating a secondary copy of the backups that is transferred only once a day, the engineer should configure a Hardened Linux Repository and create a Backup Copy job with Periodic Copy (Pruning) mode to this repository, scheduling it to run once a day. This setup respects the bandwidth and compute limitations while ensuring a daily copy of the backups. Reference: Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, Veeam Backup Copy Job Configuration Guide
For general data protection regulation (GDPR) compliance, Veeam can add a location tag to which component?
For GDPR compliance, Veeam provides the capability to add location tags to Scale-out Backup Repositories. Location tags in Veeam Backup & Replication are used to identify the location of data, which is essential for adhering to data sovereignty laws like GDPR. Location tagging helps ensure that data residency requirements are met by keeping data in a defined geographical area. In the context of GDPR, it's important to manage and control where personal data is stored and processed. Proxy servers, file copy jobs, and WAN accelerators do not have the functionality to be tagged for GDPR compliance in the same manner as repositories within Veeam Backup & Replication.
